"Almost"?????

As for the "if it would save one life" argument, I wouldn't give up my firearms if it would save a million lives. My guns are for the protection of MY liberty, MY freedom, MY safety, and MY family. Society as a whole may benefit from my owning firearms for those purposes, but society isn't the reason I'm a gun owner. And I'm willing to bet that most of us, possible most gun owners, think & feel the same way.

Heck, even the antis do in their heart of hearts. After all, when bad stuff happens, it's guys with guns they call, not the Peace Corps.

Mr Fournier,

After reading your article, I was compelled to write you so I can share my feelings:

First of all, I am Muslim, Arab decent and a moderate in my political views. I do love my firearms, all of type of firearms that are legal to own and that include modern semi-automatic rifles, the so called "Assault Rifles". Like other millions of US citizens,we are law-abiding citizen who never committed any crime or offense, save "the speeding tickets".

Now let me tell you, I am not ashamed gun owner? nor I do have bad intent by owning my firearms. Please, Let me explain. Do you have a car? I am sure you do. The matter of fact, drunk drivers still kill more innocent people, and that include more infants and toddlers, than mentally-ill people kill innocent lives with firearms. Are you ashamed to own and drive a car? Are you calling for ban on cars, any cars accessible to a drunk driver? If you are consistent in your views, than you should be riding a bicycle and that should help your credibility, your health, your pocket and the mother earth we all love and cherish.
