Here's the article:

Anybody think more guns is still better for society after reading the article? This was for me the pivotal point where I realized that guns for "protection" was way more likely to kill you or a loved one than save you.
The summer camp I was at was VACC by the way. Vernon Army Cadet Camp. So it's not like I don't know (or respect) firearms. |
Different article, but around the same time. I graduated in May of 89. There was a similar, less personal, article published that winter by either Time, Newsweek or US News and World Report that compared gun crime statistics among developed nations. Eye opening.
I think this goes back to my original post in this thread. The government needs to start doing a better job of getting these clowns and their weapons off the street if they expect people to feel safe.
People who own guns for protection need to be responsible about it as well.
