I normally don't weigh in on political issues, but there is something crying out to be said. Mea Culpa if it's already been addressed and I missed it...Does this count?

To all you clowns (and I use the word with full knowledge of its literal definition) who cry about banning hammers, or baseball bats, or any other inanimate object, get me a story, JUST ONE VERIFIABLE STORY, of a hammer that killed someone from a range of a thousand yards. Or of a baseball bat that killed fifteen and wounded thirty in the space of sixty seconds.

Gun violence in this country is a serious problem, and to address it we need serious people with serious ideas. What we don't need are idiots who want to spout off platitudes in the hopes of making points, or of trying to sound funny. You don't. You sound idiotic. If you have nothing worthwhile to share, don't share.

I for one am not sure where I stand on this issue. I believe in the Second Amendment, yet I deplore the way a fully automatic weapon can end so many lives so quickly, and I question the need (note that word please, it's not want or desire) for a private citizen to own such weapons. Still, the road to restricting personal freedoms starts as a gentle, well meaning slope, and can get out of hand quickly if we're not careful.

I don't profess to have the answers. But I do want to be involved in serious debate and discussion, in the hopes of reaching a consensus. Just please don't tell me that I need to ban cast iron skillets just because some broad in Peoria killed her husband with one. Originally Posted by Poet Laureate
