<div>Speaking strictly for myself and in no way wanting to put words in the mouth of Mr. Rumelhart, I find it very mildly vexing to be framed as a "coward" for being a hunter, collector, and general firearms enthusiast. The use of that term can hardly be seen as anything other than insulting and those who do or wildly applaud its use are clearly not looking for reasoned discussion on the topic.</div>

<div><div style="font-family:Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><div><span>Ok</span>, now I tire of this gun debate. A hammer is not any near as deadly as a semi-automatic weapon. Sifting through the Second <span><span>Amendment</span></span> for a hint of a right to possess all manner of <span><span>weaponry</span></span> is <span><span>ridiculous</span></span> and frightening. God did not give us the Second <span><span>amendment</span></span>, nor did God design and give us guns. Gun manufacturers give us guns. And they want us to buy more guns. Yes, a gun in every drawer and a chicken in every pot. </div>
<div> </div><div>People who want to own guns for <span><span>defense</span></span> live in fear. From whence does this fear
originate?</div><div>From other people with guns!</div><div> </div><div>We have a gun violence <span><span>problem</span></span> the U.S.. no one can deny that. The solution I often hear is to own more guns.</div><div>
This creates more fear and a need for more, and more deadly guns to defend ourselves. Kind of like a national internal arms race. </div><div> </div><div>People who are afraid to live in a civil society without arming themselves with weapons of mass destruction are cowards.</div>
<div>I am sorry to be so blunt, but I, and a vast majority of my fellow citizens, want to demonstrate the courage needed to deal with the violence in society in a logical, civil manner. Let's engage this discussion now. Enough children and citizens have died.
