I saw this list over at packing.org. I love it!
My favorites:

5. We must get rid of guns because a deranged lunatic may go on a shooting spree at any time and anyone who would own a gun out of fear of such a lunatic is paranoid.

8. A woman raped and strangled is morally superior to a woman with a smoking gun and a dead rapist at her feet.

33. We should ban “Saturday Night Specials” and other inexpensive guns because it’s not fair that poor people have access to guns too.

35. Private citizens don’t need a gun for self- protection because the police are there to protect them even though the Supreme Court says the police are not responsible for their protection.

But go read them all because they’re all right on.

[Update 10-23-2007] Apprarantly packing.org is down, so catch at 40 reasons for gun control at attrition.org.

In the last month, there have been four school shooting incedents in:

• Quebec
• Wisconsin
• Colorado
• and now Pennsylvania

The tragedies listed in the USA all happened in the last week. If I were a teacher, I would want to be legally allowed to carry my legally concealed weapon. The problem is, most state CCW laws prohibit the legally armed citizen from carrying their weapon into a school. This makes schools targets for wackos, not safe havens for students (if you doubt this, then please refer to the recent murders in schools outlined above). If only school faculty members in all states could have the opportunity to legally arm themselves, they could defend themselves and possibly stop deranged psychos from killing our children.

Utah has taken the lead by allowing lawfully CCW inside schools. When will the rest of the nation follow suit?
