"Gabrielle Giffords Gun Control Super PAC Raises $6.5 Million"

[CTyankee]

27. Honestly, I was going through my old photos, growing up in Texas...picture after picture

and not one gun....my father was really into aviation, which became big in Texas after WW2. My mother swimming with her friends, my brother and I opening Christmas presents (no gun toys that I can recall)...my cousin who hunted doves every September was never pictured with his hunting gun...nobody cradling, handling, posing with guns...actually, the only recollection of a gun that I have was the story of my aunt who would not let a visitor hold her pistol in her house by politely but firmly saying to her "Here, I'll put this up for you while you are here..." as she took it out of her hand. And this visitor was from Colorado (and considered unhinged by my family). We were city mice and but had country mice relatives and no one even talked about guns...
