It's abotu the only thing upon which Mr. Heston and I agree.
I support the right to bear arms. People determined to kill will get guns regardless. I don't think it's wise to disarm citizens and leave the only weaponry and knowledge of how to use them in the hands of the government. And we'd be doing this in the name of protecting ourselves from incidents as this? really?
What we're saying is let's take away guns so we can safely ignore disturbed individuals in society in the knowledge that they won't be able to kill as many people as they could if they had legal access to guns.
How about we work on better identifying individuals with mental issues and restrict THEIR access?
I believe in an armed and educated citizenry. I think both advocacy camps have staked out extreme positions (as usual with issues like this) and the result is a patchwork of measures that don't represent a sane and cohesive policy.
