Check out the article, which seems balanced (and mostly of the "What do you think?" variety)

More notably, check the comments... seems the majority are positive.

There are some real anti gun zealots in there too...
Like this:

If it were up to me we'd melt down all the guns in this country, and create a monument to all those needlessly murdered because of a misinterpretation of our rights. Creating an army to fight against outside forces doesn’t give us the right to take up arms against each other. Wait until gun nuts, full of hate and fear thanks to voting against their own best interests, who are being fueled by Beck, Limbaugh, etc. (traitors for profit), reach their breaking point.

Yeah - that would do it...
Then you'd be murdered by someone with a knife, so melt them all down...
Then clubs - so burn them all....
And then rocks ... wait... what to do with rocks.... the earth is made of rocks...
DESTROY the EARTH!
That will stop murder.

Most, not all, of the anti-gun statements are very poorly worded. This one make my head hurt.

Jack, If ever we could have a conversation devoid od emotion that would be a great day in America, However, that is not going to happen. I think gun control laws should be left up to the states and based on the constitution. With that said, a complete ban on hand guns, regardless of location is not going to solve the gun crime problem. Only effective enforcement of stringent gun sales and possession laws will!

This guy can't make up his mind. He contradicts himself twice in three sentences.

And this one made me weep for the US educational system:

The handgun band saved lifes
instead of 300 murders a year you have 200 or less
100 lifes is worth more then you can imagine
If you want to protect your home – purchase a hunting rifle and train your self how to use it
Dont be brainwashed by the other side

[Irving]

Yeah, I saw that garbage as well. There will never be a way to see eye to eye on this issue until people have been in both positions. If you haven't ever owned a gun, then please stop preaching about how you feel about it because it doesn't matter.

POST PULLED - EDIT:
I shouldn't dis on Norm Wattenberger in a public forum..
Or repost his address and phone number even IF he DID put it out there...
Or point out the fact that he has lost touch with common sense...
Even if the guy couldn't pour water out of a boot with instructions on the heel.
My bad.

wow, some of the comments amaze me. I still fail to understand the liberal and anti-gun mind.

Repetitive.

No wonder there. If you don't think like them you won't understand them. Knee-jerk reactions and emotional tripe is easy to spew and impossible to defend.
