Gun Debate

Taking it off FB for now. I welcome dialogue here. Dialogue, no name calling. And no need to get the last word. But I will start with what I believe is true.

• The proliferation of guns and easy gun access in America is directly related to 

1. More homicides
2. More suicides
3. More accidental shooting

• The notion that high levels of civilian gun ownership is what keeps us free from tyranny is false.
• The NRA serves gun manufacturers and gun dealers much like the Tobacco Institute served the tobacco industry.
•  I have every right to be angry with our unwillingness deal with our gun problem, our denial that there even is a problem or that the "problem" has nothing to do with guns. This is bullshit*.
•  I am frustrated by false dichotomy:  the notion that if you think there is a gun problem, then you must be in favor of banning all guns.  Also bullshit*.

Here is a thought experiment for you:  I propose that, at any car or truck owner's discretion, a machine gun be mounted on the roof of their car.  It can be operated by the driver via a heads up display.  This would (by logic I have heard over and over and over again)

• Reduce road rage violence
• Make driving safer
• Protect us from over zealous cops

Get my drift?

*If you don't think it's bullshit, state your case.
