Ms. Pax;

I believe in detering crime at all times... except for speeding of course!

I've owned at least one gun since 1966 and I have had (or currently own): .22's, .32's, .38/.357's, 9mm's, and .45ACP's. While I've carried many a day (not quite legal before CHL) not one of them has ever been fired in anger or in defense of life, limb or property, but, I'm prepared to if necessary.

I believe that here most of us have not been the victims of a violent crime there are indeed plenty of victims out there and many of them will become pro-gun after becoming a victim. I also believe that most of them are anti's and after someone attempts to do harm to their family or worse they will indeed become as one of us, a baptism by fire so to speak.

There are exceptions to that rule, however, and sad it is that the Brady bunch wishes to do away with guns. It seems to me, that if Mrs. Brady would focus more on the criminal aspect of gun use there would be a much better use of resources.

Would you say the Chronicle writer was a little biased?

No. Brainwashed.

I have a theory that actually applies to multiple topics.

If the reporter had actually ever faced a robbery, assault etc, it would more than likely not have been labelled "gunned down".

Along the same lines, I believe most anti-death penalty folks would change their mind if one of theirs was murdered.

I entertain the very same line of thought.
It's the old line... walk a mile in that man's shoes and you can feel his pain until then it's just words out of his mouth that they will never understand nor have a feeling for.

They lead sheltered lives and will never change their way of thinking(!) until faced with a reality much different from the miost recent episode of "Survivor" or "Bachelor" they just watched. Even when reality hits home, some will never see the light. True sheeple are they!

To them it's 'crystal clear' that the robber had every right to be in that other person's house, but when it's their house then they will finally obtain the actual feeling of being violated and understand how it feels to be: a) burgularized, b) car stolen, c) robbed at the point of a weapon, d) raped, e) carjacked or f) have a dear loved one killed by such a perp.

Until then they will never understand, and after that they'll be very much on our side.
