I would contend to Mr. Daniel Johnson, Deputy Executive Editor, Salem-News, that gun control itself is terrorism, in that the disarming of people so that they may not resist violent criminals nor a corrupt government, takes away their basic human right of self defense, and leaves them helpless to barbarism and murderous oppression.
As such, it is no more defensible than throwing people into a pit full of dangerous wild animals, or abandoning them in a raft far out at sea without supplies they need to survive.
