I disagree, Bigdog. Ms Kieffer, thank you for a great column. I love the point of view you express and the language you have used. Bigdog, to acknowledge that we need to enforce laws and do everything to protect people from insane mass murderers is not to argue for gun control or any other tyrannical solution. It just says we want to improve our standard of living. Concealed carry and free enterprise seem like good solutions to me. Kieffer has simply posed the problem in interesting, thought provoking terms.

Guns and Love

Guns, guns, guns. Love, love, love. America needs guns and love.

As humans, we have an inherent right to life. Our right to life (or self-defense) is a natural right and does not come from any document, even the Constitution. The Bill of Rights or the first ten amendments to the Constitution simply acknowledge our natural rights. Specifically, the Second Amendment recognizes our natural right to bear arms for self-defense.

Guns are the reactive, defensive answer to evil in the world. Love is the proactiveanswer to evil. We need both—guns and love.

LOVE

Good men express themselves through love; love...
