RE: Unbelieveable Opinion on gun control on CNN
I suppose we could follow the way of the "enlightened" Europeans and Asian countries with their strict laws of virtually no private ownership or use of firearms. What did the fact that neither Germans, Russians nor Chinese people had the means (firearms in private well trained hands) to stop totalitarian regimes give the world? In WWII alone there were an estimated 72 million military and civilian deaths. Communism resulted in an estimated 100 million deaths for the same reason.
In other words, as terrible as it is to see the massacre of innocents at VT and authorities should intervene much sooner to stop such a person. It would take 5 million of these mass murders to come close to equaling the much more terrible carnage and destruction of the wars and totalitarian government mass murders that were enabled because responsible citizens of Germany, Russia and China had no firearms to stop these brutal regimes in just the last century.
I'll defend our peoples' 2nd Amendment right to keep and responsibly use firearms today and forever.
