Just read about the
MSU alum who was killed by some grumpy old man for no reason. The article had a link to another article about a jewelry store owner and customer who were killed in Grand Haven. This **** happens ALL the time.
Allow rifle ownership for the hunters and people who want to protect their families/homes - fine. But ban the damn handguns already. And you can save your responses about how only criminals would have guns, the Constitution guarantees the right to bear arms, why don't we ban knives/rocks/automobiles, my family has had guns for years, you just need to respect them, blah, blah, blah.
No, banning handguns would not stop whackos from committing atrocities. However, untold meaningless crimes/suicides/accidents would be averted. Those of you who disagree can suck it.
