This is the quote that absolutely separates me from the original writer -
"It makes no more sense to outlaw or restrict the purchase and ownership of guns than it does to outlaw the possession of knives, clubs, hatpins, or stones."
Of course humans can kill each other with knives, clubs, hatpins or stones. But those all have other purposes.
In my opinion, handguns have no other purpose but to kill people. Rifles and shotguns can be used for other purposes - for example, hunting or sports - but what else is a handgun used for?
I'm very thankful for our strict gun-control laws.
