Mr Root,
Great article full of wonderful points but I'm a little surprised by the poll you used for the number of people that used a gun to protect themselves as more recent polls taken by various groups & averaged out show the number to be closer to 2.5 million times per year with a shot fired less than 0.9% of the time. Maybe these used incidents with reports filed & on record since most the time there is no report.
Also I'm surprised you brought up your Jewish heritage without mentioning that Israel has the solution.They haven't had a school shooting event like Newton since training & arming their teachers in 1970 & doing away with 'gun free zones' where criminals love to go for these events. :)

As an example, we don’t have a “fiscal cliff” crisis because of a tax problem in America. What we have is a spending problem- Obama is the biggest spender of any politician in world history.
The same story holds true with the gun control issue spurred by the tragic Newtown school shooting. The liberal politicians and media are using Rahm Emanuel’s...
