Lets not hurt ourselves - Gun Control [View all]

[Etraker]

I am the most liberal person I know. That being said I have had a lifelong interest in firearms. I have more than fifty guns in my house. I keep on hand a large amount of ammunition because I like to shoot. I own handguns, shotguns, sporting rifles, military type rifles and many high capacity magazines. I too am deeply concerned with the level of gun violence in our country, but I think we hurt the conversation when we call for banning certain weapons or confiscating all guns and other such crazy ideas. I think that we need sensible legislation to do all we can to protect people from violence, yes violence, not "gun violence" but violence. I think the press in this last situation as well as others would do well to be honest and say that this person was a conservative republican who showed great hate in his writings and go after the hate mongers, Fox News, Limbaugh, Beck etc. that pump their vile non stop hoping to trigger these types of incidents and then have the gall to pretend its liberal thinking that causes it.
