Fewer guns mean fewer killings. We want a handgun ban.

[The Polack MSgt]

43. I am a Master Sergeant, although I retired in 05

I was not in combat arms though. I worked on electronics, mainly communication systems.

I've been shooting since I was 8 years old, and except when my son battled depression as a teen (he's fine now, a healthy 25 yo) kept firearms in my home.

I even taught my wife, a native of Tokyo who never even saw a firearm in her life how to shoot.

I support the 2nd amendment, and pushing for firearm bans hurts Democrats in almost every area, except in large cities - cities that are already voting Democratic.

I've written about this before:

I maintain that preventing gun violence is complicated and options are limited by constraints that gun banners simply do not wish to acknowledge or account for.

Also, a 15% reduction in suicide rates would cut gun fatalities more than preventing every mass shooting - And as a father who fought to keep his son alive through in resident care, medication and outpatient therapy for years, well that is a hard but POSSIBLE goal.

Waving a magic wand and making millions of pistols and revolvers disappear is fantasy and pushing for that fantasy to become real is unhelpful - in fact it is harmful to Democrats seeking a majority in Congress
