For the first time in at least 20 years, significantly more Americans say it’s more important to protect the right to own guns than to control gun ownership, according to the Pew Research Center.
The survey found that more than half of Americans (52 percent) sided with gun rights compared with the 46 percent who favored gun control.
Someone I know recently told me his idea about guns: Make it mandatory for everyone to own a gun at the age of eighteen. That way it wouldn’t be just the bad guys who have guns.
I have to think about that one. Seems an infringement of liberty also.
