The core of the great national gun divide comes down to this: On one side, people’s sense of public safety goes up as the number of guns goes down; the other side responds to every gun tragedy by reflecting that this might have been averted if only more legally armed citizens had been on the scene.

I am on the first side simply because I believe that in a time of crisis, there is no such thing as a good shot.

I guess that she belongs to the "lie back and enjoy it" school of thought.

Gun control is kinda like trying to solve drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to own cars.

“I believe that in a time of crisis, there is no such thing as a good shot”

You can believe green leprechauns bring babies to mothers at midnight, but it doesn’t make it so.

Bull**** sweet sounding statements that have no basis in reality: the heart of liberalism.

Let's test that, Ms. Collins. Come to my backdoor and bust out my patio glass in the middle of the night, and let's see if you don't have a third eye in very short order.

Willing to bet your life on that assertion, Gail?

Another pacifist unfamiliar with TRAINING!!!!

With unannounced LIVE FIRE to our rear quarter, we had to draw and fire using “point shooting” (no sights). 2 inch, level pattern at 7 yards, 3 shots, rapid fire.

Did you hear that Glock has a new model coming out in response to the Wisconsin situation?

It’s called the “Union” model - it does not work and you can’t fire it. :-)

Glad Gail Collins wasn't running the show during WW2.

We would all be speaking German now.

So then why bother calling the police? They will be using their guns in a time of crisis after all.

This tripe was in our local NYT-owned rag today. Geez, where to start... ? This ditz is so far gone it almost makes you feel pity.

A lot of people have thought that. Most of them wound up dead.

Hey Gail you ignorant twit....

Your socialist polidiots had the congress an the White House for TWO WHOLE YEARS where they could have passed anything they wanted. As they did with crap like Obamacare etc..

Yet they didn’t think gun control was an issue then why now ya silly presstitute ?

They had their chance. Your handlers didn’t think it was an issue because it isn’t. Never was never will be.

All gun control is to you liberal socialist idgits is a wag the dog diversion. You lose .....

Actually, it's kind of a good news story.

She certainly comes across as frusrated and disappointed, which is precisely where those of her ilk need to stay.
