Yup.

"Guns are bad...I just know that"

Brilliant!

Well, in the interests of adding some balance... guns *are*
a problem. But almost any/every useful tool can be abused
and often is. Banning the tool doesn't achieve anything.
Should we ban knives, chainsaws, automobiles, pencils and
everything else that has the potential to be used (abused)
as a lethal weapon? I think not.

Neither the pro-gun lobby (who often ignore the very real
problem) nor the gun control lobby (who generally seem to
think that yet another ban/control law will solve the
problem) advance the discussion.

In the meantime, responsible individuals need to make
their own personal choices on this issue. But responsible
citizens will make an informed choice versus burrying
their heads in piles of dogma.
