Stopping a Hatchet Wielding Assailant

There is no reason a rational human being cannot be both pro-gun and pro-gun control. The positions are not mutually exclusive.

Gun control does not have to mean banning guns, or taking guns away from law-abiding citizens. It can and should mean trying to keep them out of the hands of people who would misuse them.

The link below leads to a story about a good man with a good gun who did a good job defending himself and a store owner from a hatchet wielding assailant. We need gun control laws that make sure people like this keep their guns.

The link below leads to a story about armed robbers who terrorized people in broad daylight. We need to find out how these criminals got guns and then figure out how to plug those holes. We need gun control laws that can stop people like this from getting guns. Or at least make it more difficult for them.

Help good people and hinder bad people. That's what laws are supposed to do. Gun control laws should be no different.
