Sigh ... I had hoped that when I mentioned that I was siding with Chris Rock people would realize that I was being sarcastic. Obviously this is not the answer to the problem, just as limiting access to guns for law abiding citizens will not significantly bring down crime statistics. What we have at issue here is a real non-issue. It, like most things debated in American politics, is simply a diversion tactic by our “wonderful” two party system to keep people away from the real topics that need to be discussed, like how to lower poverty levels so that less people will become desperate enough to turn to a life of crime. Have your guns or don’t. Personally I don’t think it will make a big difference one way or the other. Just spare me the lame assed arguments from both sides for why your side is more “right”.
