10/26/2004 Archived Entry: "Death by anti-gun attitude"

I don't comment often enough upon gun ownership rights, which I advocate, perhaps because I don't personally like guns nor wish to own one. If my neighbor wants a collection of her or his own, however, fine by me. This story, however, outrages me. I agree with the author Bob Smith that the fellow's senseless death was a direct result of irrational anti-gun attitudes. It is also a cautionary tale: stay out of the legal system if at all possible. If its brutal disregard for rights and human dignity don't kill you, it's incompetence may well.
