Seeking an effective argument FOR gun control (Posted here after the terrible Sandy Hook massacre)

The Tunnel Wall; Tuesday, December 18, 2012
 Here, two respected writers discuss the case against taking away individual firearms from Americans. Yes, it is true that if guns did not exist everywhere in this nation those little children in Sandy Hook would be living right now and I only wish that were the case. But it is not and there are violent people out there in their thousands and they are armed; willing and lusting to watch innocent people die in bunches by their hands. How, exactly do you gun-control advocates plan to remove those weapons from their blood-thirsty hands?
I will honestly look for a reasoned argument FOR gun control that contains effective means for keeping us safe from those who carry weapons illegally and are willing to do us harm. Cartoons showing crazed, wild-eyed gun owners don't wash.
As yet, I have seen only politically correct, emotional responses to the issue that have no value other than simply making a politician look as if they are doing something. TD


Full post here with commentary from Alan Caruba in Warning Signs:  
"Among gun owners, the cliché is that “A gun in the hand is quicker than a cop on the phone.” "
 And from Thomas Sowell comes: How many times do the same arguments need to be refuted?
. . . There is innocent ignorance and there is invincible, dogmatic, and self-righteous ignorance. Every tragic mass shooting seems to bring out examples of both among gun-control advocates.
