How come you don't know what is going on I have two handguns in my home and one in my car. I wouldn't give them up for anything. Quit being so unrealistic on this subject.

You owe it to your readers to encourage them to protect themselves. Whose side are you on, anyway?

I feel strongly that this country needs a federal gun law. Every poll in recent years shows that the majority of our citizens want one. When our congressmen and senators muster enough courage to stand up to the gun lobby in Washington, we are going to have a safer country for everybody.
