a lot of these people need to be dongslapped in the face w/a dose of reality. To me it's cool if you want to own a gun, but we need to tighten up the rules a bit - maybe extra classes, wait periods, mandatory insurance, etc. Seems like a fair enough compromise.

But the John McClain fantasy that so many of these people have is so ridiculous. They cling to anecdotes of heroism, even when the data says you or a family member is way more likely to be injured by your own gun than you are to be protected or saved by it.
