Obama: Gun-control advocates have to listen more

10. Even in urban areas, a gun in the home

for protection can make sense. I think he is correct in pointing out the regional difference in views on guns.

Reasonable restrictions on where guns are allowed, the types allowed and on the sale seem reasonable to the majority of folks. The problem is when extremist on both sides collide and muddy up the water.

As for the 2nd, it never mentions guns. This is one case where state laws make the most sense. The problem is about when those weapons in liberal gun states cross state lines. Until the gun states find a way to keep their guns out of the more urban states, it will require federal laws to do that.

I've spent about half of my long years in urban areas and the other half in rural areas. I can see the arguments on both sides. When I lived in the country, the gun shots started at sun up on a day in November and ended at sunset. In the city the shots started at sundown every night.

Looks like the President is smart enough to recognize these difference and is headed on the right track by stating this.
