I just heard the Gifford husband talking about the incident today and he was so uninformed it wasn't funny. He was just wrong on so much.
I think I saw the same one, hyperbole, and contradiction is all I heard. He say he and his wife, and millions of Americans have guns for self defense, but dangerous people have guns ...well no shit, that's why people have them for self defense, dur.
The simple fact is that we can try to, but will never be able to completely keep guns out of the hands of bad people. The solution isn't to legislate guns out of the hands of the right people, or to neuter the guns they do have so that only the criminals have powerful, effective guns, the solution is to make sure that law-abiding citizens can have and carry firearms that meet the threats they may encounter.
