People with good intentions will never be a problem, no matter how many firearms they own. People with bad intentions will never obey the law, no matter how many good intentions it has. Gun control gives the advantage to the ones with bad intentions.

Does that seem wise?

Preferably in a small grouping! But make sure they deserve shooting before you pull the trigger. Once you've confirmed that, blow them away.

with proper gun control you should get tight groupings. if the target needs shooting, then shoot to stop the attack, what ever that takes.

Yea, I saw it while watching my Eagles get beat......again....

He was quoting an article by a Chiefs reporter Jason Whitlock? But Costas did add his own spin to it which wasn't much better.

No, gun control has a place. We shouldn't be handing out mini guns to the average public.

Should we outlaw semi auto weapons? No. Restrict clip size? Sure.

What's restricting clip size going to do?

Low crime rate in Switzerland? That`s because they have something that we don`t. It`s called gun control.

Costas and Whitlock are wrong, They stated, "handguns cause us to escalate violence and embrace confrontation rather than avoiding it" I find the opposite to be true, I avoid confrontation at all cost, because I have a gun and do not want to put myself in a situation where I could unnecessarily shoot someone, it is just common sense and most legit gun owners/carriers practice it.
