Too many of them....

I continue to be surprised that so few are saying that we have too many guns in the US. The picture of President OBAMA today firing a rifle in skeet shooting surely does not help. What does help are comments from people like New York City Police Commissioner Ray KELLY on Face the Nation 27 Jan 2013 when he said simply that there are "too many of them" when referring to handguns. That's a good start, but nothing more.

Etats-Unis : un sénateur républicain justifie les armes semi-automatiques pour les mères de famille

It is impossible to reason with this mentality, or lack thereof. Of course, it makes no sense. The risks are too high that someone will steal the gun, use it against others or that even in defense, a homeowner will either misfire and injure a family member or that the gun will be seized by the intruder and used against the homeowner. This is not Hollywood.
