        @Atul_Gawande remove the guns from law abiding citizens and you are left with only criminals owning weapons. WOW what a concept.

        @Atul_Gawande : RT I'm sure they are using the same analogy used for the nuclear bomb. It has provedvto be a deterrent.

        @Atul_Gawande yes. Ultimately a huge misunderstanding of criminal mind. Punishment not a deterrent. Neither is wider gun ownership.

        @Atul_Gawande The @NRA would like for children to start "concealed carry" as soon as the gun is no longer than the child's leg.

        @Atul_Gawande Sadly that wrongheaded view was reinforced by the cold war stalemate & has become a pervasive way of thinking for Americans.
