4. An intelligent society, and one that isn't frantic about survival, doesn't need gun control.

I don't think we solve the gun problem by censoring guns just like I think censoring words is absurd.

I don't know if this is a bs argument or not, but I have guns, and I've never been tempted to use them on anything but clay pigeons. But then my life is comfortable, and I have a degree of intelligence combined with morals.

Having said that, I feel that it's a problem that Bernie didn't sign the Brady bill. There are people out there who shouldn't have guns. And I am not a fan of guns. I wouldn't mind it if we could wish them into the corn field. But again, the way towards a healthy society is through numerous avenues, the minority of which actually deal with guns.
