"You dont need to be a staunch anti-gun advocate to see why letting people carry guns in banks, churches, university dormitories, and the state Capitol is a fundamentally bad idea. While granting citizens the means to protect themselves, it also gives criminals the means to commit crimes." Let me get this straight, Mr. Lichtenheld; Your reasoning is based upon the premise that laws against carrying firearms actually deter criminals from doing so. What proof do you have of that?

Yes,
"this $#!+ again!"
It's almost like looking at the exact same BS time and time again...
The template is amazingly similar (to other articles like this over the last few years) with the same "$#!+" again and again...
They'll never learn...

Too many school shootings? Give teachers firearmsAnd, it was the principle in Pearle,MS that stopped a school shooting where the kids had pulled the frie alarms first. At least I think it was Pearle.

Police, more than anybody, would know how the presence of a handgun endangers all parties, including the guns owner for 12 percent of law enforcement officers killed by firearms are shot to death with their own service weapon. Although this guy has not proven that concealed carry by the public is 'bad', he has made a fairly strong case that police should not be permitted to carry firearms.

He looks like a 40 year old sophomore.
It's sad that college students' (I am one) opinions count for anything and are aired in public.

Undercutting progressive gun-control initiatives... Translation: The author is upset that not everyone is a limp-wristed pantywaist like himself.
Gun control ain't about guns, moron. It's about control. And there ain't nothin' "progressive" about having government cretins and other criminals control our lives.

In a nation where gun violence remains a virtual epidemic, the very poison itself is also assumed to be the anecdote (sic).In his bizarro world, you treat poisoning with an anecdote!

Poor baby. Although, he must be at least 35. That artfully arranged curl on his forehead is pretty fetching, however.

Good for you. I'm sure these things happen all the time and are never reported for statistical purposes.
I'm embarrased to say this, but I have had a gun pulled on me twice, both times for losing my temper with someone. It happened one time on the highway in my car and another time in a parking lot while on foot. I was only yelling at them both times, so there was no physical violence involved, but I look back on it now and realize it was my own fault for being so immature.
Anyway, I can definitely attest to the ability of a gun to rapidly change one's attitude. It changed mine! LOL! It's also ironic how guns can actually reduce violence by diffusing a situation beofre it ever reaches that level. The author said:
"you go from enduring a black eye or a bloody nose to suffering from a gunshot wound"
That might be true sometimes, but most of the time it would seem that brandishing a gun will take the situation from bloody nose to nothing happened at all.

This stupid young punk looks like a thug himself.
Forget Zimbabwe, most college sophmores don't know the history of our country or where it is located on a map of the world.

"
While granting citizens the means to protect themselves, it also gives criminals the means to commit crimes. Concealed-carry extends more rights to crooks and felons, guaranteeing that some weapons will fall into the wrong hands, making law-enforcement a virtual nightmare."
Lost me right there. This guy's truly a bed-wetting alarmist.

Okay, I've read Lichtenheld's column, but I'm not reading any of the posts from Freepers ... I'm already laughing so hard my sides hurt.

Lichtenfeld is not so much a sophomore as he is just plain sophomoric.
Your comments on General Field Marshall President-for-Life Idi Amin Dada are dead on.

Sweet young Adam seems to have gone to the Brady Center's website, followed it up with a trip to the Violence Policy Center's, and done a completely uncritical cut and paste job of all the falsehoods those two entities regularly publish.

That was a well written letter. If he replies back, may I see the response?
