Proliferation of Handguns in U.S.

The article was an outstanding, unemotional, fairly stated, well-researched and documented piece. It should be required reading for every individual who has doubts about the wisdom of our Founding Fathers in creating the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The author says it most succinctly, “Any sensible public policy demands that hysteria and demagoguery not bury the facts. Firearms carried by responsible, competent civilians present no danger to the public.”

Congratulations to your staff. You have published an unemotional and objective piece that defends our Second Amendment rights.
