To the Journal editor:
Here we go again. "Guns are killing people." Yea, right. I could set a gun on the table and I would not be killed. People kill people.
When a way is found (which already exists) to stop someone from killing another, the world will be a better place. I have been hearing on the networks that gun owners must be held responsible for any misuse of their fire arms.
There are already laws to cover that. If a firearm is stolen, we have one day to report it. If we carry concealed, we can't drink. It's all logical. Carrying a fire arm is an awesome responsibility. It weighs heavy on a person's mind, but, the police can't be everywhere.
The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to have a good guy with a gun. When there is no more crime, there will be no need for guns except for sporting purposes.
