On guns

Today I heard that the Supreme Court upheld the individual's right to carry a gun for self-defense and protection. Yesterday a person in Henderson, Kentucky, shot and killed five people at the Atlantis Plastics plant, then killed himself. The news was so "ho-hum" that our regional news didn't even report it.

In our county, people just get drunk and shoot their television sets. Why can't everyone else be as civilized?

Guns at easy access cause shooting to occur fast without thinking.They now have safety features that will only allow the owner to shoot. If people must have guns, why not use this feature? We fail to recognize the meaning of our own Constitution (including our courts) that says we should own guns to form a militia to fight for our country.
