Tom Knighton has an article today at Bearing Arms about the author of the Bob Lee Swagger books, Stephen Hunter. Hunter made a excellent point at Powerline. Do you remember the massacres of 1964? No? Well maybe that's because it didn't happen, despite the sale of 240,000 actual weapons of war to the general public. They even shipped these weapons of war directly to peoples homes! Yikes! ( No I don't really think there's a problem with shipping guns directly to peoples houses. That's the way we did it back then. )
Except that dispite the flooding of the nation with thousands of surplus M1 carbines, there were no massacres. Maybe guns are not the problem? Maybe we shouldn't concentrate on the tools used by criminals, and go after the criminals themselves? Criminalizing guns to stop crime is like criminalizing forks because they make you fat. Go read Knighton's article, as well has Hunter's article.
