Oh stop. Almost all people who get themselves all het up about this have testosterone. People who lived in areas like the Midwest lived at the time and near people who hunted rabbits etc for food and they had guns. Almost every farm girl could shoot fairly well. I think most people are smart enough to sense the changes that happen. There is now more crimes in Mount Dora and Leesburg and more violent ones in Wildwood than there were fifteen years ago. You can talk until the cows come home but we didn't all just fall off the turnip truck. I know about guns, my grandfather and uncle were police officers for decades.

You run your railroad and I will run mine. It is too late to talk about removing guns from those that have them. That ship has sailed. That horse is out of the barn. Now we deal with assessing what is happening because we cannot affix a moral direction into adults who have been raised by someone their parents would not trust with the car keys.
