[Vision2020] gun violence debate

[rhayes at frontier.com]

Ok, now I tire of this gun debate. A hammer is not any near as deadly as a semi-automatic weapon. Sifting through the Second Amendment for a hint of a right to possess all manner of weaponry is ridiculous and frightening. God did not give us the Second amendment, nor did God design and give us guns. Gun manufacturers give us guns. And they want us to buy more guns. Yes, a gun in every drawer and a chicken in every pot.   
 
People who want to own guns for defense live in fear. From whence does this fear originate?
From other people with guns!
 
We have a gun violence problem the U.S.. no one can deny that.  The solution I often hear is to own more guns.
This creates more fear and a need for more, and more deadly guns to defend ourselves. Kind of like a national internal arms race. 
 
People who are afraid to live in a civil society without arming themselves with weapons of mass destruction are cowards.
I am sorry to be so blunt, but I, and a vast majority of my fellow citizens, want to demonstrate the courage needed to deal with the violence in society in a logical, civil manner. Let's engage this discussion now. Enough children and citizens have died.
