I almost crashed my car tonight when I heard a reporter saying "The US wants to take away their guns, leaving them to the mercy of criminals"

DUH?

Interesting comment. I do have doubts that it will help to reach the Shiite's in Iraq, to render them helpless and vulnerable to criminals. I think this move may cause a lot of resentment, that may result in more trouble down the road.

Sure, the increasing violence is a problem. However, I believe the perpetrators should be dealt with harshly, instead of disarming everyone.
