Among the many questions my wife and I did not consider when deciding to start a family, one stands out: What to do about guns?
She was raised in a city. There were no guns in her home, and she knew very little about them. She simply assumed our children would not have guns in their home either. The truth is, she was afraid of guns.

Judging by the marksmanship, even the folks who have firearms in Chicago don’t really know how to use them...
Gun owners take responsibility for themselves while gun controllers try to assign responsibility for criminal violence to everyone but the criminal.

Criminals, when charged with a ‘gun crime’ in the process of committing other crimes, have the gun charged dropped almost 100% of the time. New gun laws would not effect them in the slightest as DAs consider gun charges a bargaining chip
> Only prosecuting and penalizing CRIMINALS reduces CRIME!
Sadly, over the course of many years, government has proven itself inadequate in both prosecuting and penalizing. However, the armed citizenry has risen to the task.
In theory, the average person would agree with government, limiting capital punishment to only the worst offenders among multiple murderers. But in practice, armed citizens can take all of the government’s roles and execute mostly violent criminals in a very wide range of offenses.
And *this* is where crime is severely reduced. For every criminal who is killed is not only penalized, but all future crimes they would have carried out also disappear like a puff of smoke. At a tiny fraction of the cost.
Why the HELL should we "take responsibility" for the actions of people who won't obey the law no matter what?
Unbelievable.
I take full responsibility for any and all violence that involves any firearm I own, as long as I own it.
“another mostly misinformed ignoramus expounds”
Another idiot, the second amendment is not about hunting even though this moron posts a bunch of pictures trying to indicate that it does.
I totally agree with several posts on this board about upstanding gun owners not being able to diminish gun crime unless they pick up their firearms, go vigilante, and hunt down the punks who commit the vast majority of gun homicides and gun assaults every year.
I am a responsible gun owner. My firearms are always secured unless they are directly under my control.
I also fully realize that a phobic panic driven irrational fear of any inanimate object is a mental health problem.
None, not one, of my firearms have ever been utilized in any crime but two of them have been used to stop violent crimes.
Our gun rights are worth fighting for even though the constitutionally ignorant people in this country may try and castrate our bill of rights, our enumerated rights, our second amendment rights.
I do not now nor will I ever ask permission from the left to exercise my constitutional rights.
If gun owners constitutional rights are not respected and important to others then none of their constitutional rights should be important to anyone else.
Lock and load.
So all are to lose their constitutional right because some city slag is afraid of something.
Being afraid of guns makes as much sense as being afraid of hammers.

Hey folks!
The newspaper takes letters!
Maybe Mr. Kyte will be happy know how much attention he is receiving outside the distribution area of the newspaper?
Well common scents and stuff. 😂🤘
The best solution, is to grow up. Stop listening to people who wish to keep you ignorant of the realities of life in America, the need for the 2nd Amendment, and the truth about existing gun laws. Children resist common sense, as he demonstrates here.
I’m sure Richard is very proud of his worn out ideas and that his virtue signaling will give him points amongst his other wine sipping oh so superior buddies.
Gungrabbers are just like the moto-haters who think they are so clever when they post “murdercycles”. Pathetic losers who never once had an original thought in their entire miserable worthless lives.
There are responsible gun owners and there are criminals. Criminals don’t obey laws and will use guns in their chosen profession whether legally or illegally owned. The only thing a gun law will do is restrict the people who aren’t a problem in the first place and prevent them from protecting themselves.
Yes, I’m sure this milquetoast and his pneumatic spouse mean exactly that.
For responsible firearm owners to concede their current position piece-by-piece, getting nothing in return - except more demands and concessions to make.
How about this as an example - we give up pistol ‘braces’ and bump stocks, and you let us have suppressors without government interference?
Nope, because that would be a negotiation and responsible discussion - they just want another piece of flesh with nothing given in return.
His wife gets to decide for everyone, evidently.
I just gave cc piece a stern talking to!
I do believe gun owners need to change their hearts...but, not in the same way these idiots think they should,
South Dakota. I’m sure he’s hearing plenty.
