More on more guns

The post-Orlando gun discussion continues, as one reader sent this in:

“These weapons are to protect individuals from their government as well. With 270 million guns and growing, if there was a gun problem, you would know it. I don’t even own a gun. I believe firmly in our Second Amendment right. And as far as innocent loss of life from individuals at Pulse using a gun they possessed? The loss would have been less.

“Think of it this way, if you dare: If just half of the people that died that night, and half of the others that were wounded, had shot just one bullet in the direction of the shooter, that would be 50 bullets flying Mateen’s way. If the bartender and/or DJ had training and a gun behind the counter, the loss of life would have been less.

“This event proves that open carry is as good as conceal carry. Peace. I’m out.”

As I mentioned before, we’ll keep sharing from both sides in the coming days. Your thoughts? Email rrollins@coxohio.com.
