"I'm an advocate of gun rights," Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Joe Perry told G2 on Thursday at the Capitol Visitors Center, where he was appearing in support of Rock Stars of Science, an initiative to raise public awareness about health issues and to build support for setting scientific research as a national priority.
"I think that guns have been a part of our heritage," said the lead guitarist for Aerosmith, wearing a platinum-and-diamond revolver-shaped necklace.
"If we could start all over again, it would be great if there were no guns in the world," he continued. "It would be great if there was no war in the world.

Yeah. THen we could hack our enemies to death, thump them with blunt objects, heave big rocks at them and poke them with long pointy things...
What a wonderful world it would be...(/sarcasm).
Pity Adam and Eve didn't ignore the serpent...but here we are!
Actually, I am glad he is viewing this with common sense, given the situation, and despite my sarcasm, not decrying the realistic statements he followed up with by any means.
