9. Focus on the dying innocent people.

Because that is the emotional issue that is more important to all of us than the guns.

People shoot guns because they are bored and because of the security they feel when they delude themselves into thinking that with a gun they can defend themselves and their families.

The real issue with guns is that they don't make people, they don't make society more secure.

Guns kill. They kill innocent people. They kill children.

And death of a loved one, of a child, of a spouse, of a parent, of a friend is devastating.

It's not that anyone wants to "take" a gun from anyone.

It's that we want to "keep" our children, our loved ones away from harm.

And not having guns or at least certain guns in our society is more likely to make us and our loved ones secure and happy than having guns.

It's that value -- security in our families and with those we love and care about that the gun conversation is about.

It's our job to convince gun addicts that they and their families are more secure without these guns in our society than they are with them.

It's all about security. And that is the value that we have to teach people is better served without these guns than it is with them.
