Has there really been a proliferation of guns? Seems like that is a common theme in the media."The thought ... of people losing their firearms is just something that Americans can't tolerate and quite honestly shouldn't. But on the other hand, we cannot allow the proliferation of guns to continue like they're continuing," Massengill said.
While I would agree the raw number of firearms has probably increased over the years in the U.S., the number to people who own them has probably decreased. When compared to my childhood days (1960's), in my opinion, there are significantly more people today who are unfamiliar with firearms.
A more accurate statement would read: "...we cannot allow the proliferation of irresponsible and criminal conduct with guns to continue..."
A logical solution would be to support local law enforcement efforts in combating criminal behavior and the introduction of firearms safety training at the university. Perhaps a school sponsored shooting team?
Sadly, logic seems to be lost in the wilderness these days.
