Wading into Politically Incorrect Waters - Gun Control: As soon as any madman makes his stand with weapons, the anti-gun lobby gears up for some free air time. Recently another lunatic made his mark on history, using legally acquired weapons. It got a lot of press, and now everyone is screaming about weapons.

What didn't make the news was what happened in Japan. They have some of the strictest gun laws in the world, but the mayor of Nagasaki was shot and killed by someone with a grudge. Closer to home, an 82 year old (former Miss America) not too far from where I live defended herself from thieves and shot the tires out of the vehicles that they were using to steal from her. After shooting the tires, she turned her walker around and rambled to the house where she called the sheriff. How cool is that?

The solution isn't to take away everyone's guns, it is to make sure that everyone has the right to keep a weapon. Then the bad guys are going to have to think twice when committing a crime. Does this victim have a gun or not? I can tell you where we live the odds are better that you will find someone with a weapon than not. Sure, a lot of our guns are used for hunting, but some are just "because we can". And I know that it gives my family a sense of security knowing that the bad guy is going to think twice before messing with the Digital Ranch.
