All of out freedoms are based on our responsibility to those freedoms and none more so than gun ownership. Historically America has had a history of not living up to that responsibility. Like medical care guns and the right to bear arms is a third rail issue with politicians and in some states of the union one cannot get elected without avidly supporting guns. The past two years have shown us terribly devastating events that some how do not even allow for some moderation to gun ownership. Most frightening of comments heard are that if someone in that church were carrying at the time the killer would have been stopped. How absurd and idiotic is that comment and that thinking. A point made by David Brooks on Meet the Press this morning went straight to the heart of it. Whenever gun control comes up the discussion is never about moderate controls, registrations, limiting certain weapons, It becomes about mental illness, race, the confederate flag, anything except having responsible laws that serve all of America.

I am by no means a fan of David Brooks-he's too far right and too conservative for my tastes-but he makes good points there.
