I was amazed to read that Adam Gopnik of the New Yorker would like ban handguns.
Take a minute to get your breath back.
Here's an excerpt:
"Semi-automatic Glocks and Walthers, Cho’s weapons, are for killing people. They are not made for hunting, and it’s not easy to protect yourself with them. (If having a loaded semi-automatic on hand kept you safe, cops would not be shot as often as they are.)
Rural America is hunting country, and hunters need rifles and shotguns—with proper licensing, we’ll live with the risk. There is no reason that any private citizen in a democracy should own a handgun."

Im thinking of writing a stern letter in response.
