Interestingly, NPR was one of the sources I relied on yesterday for the mistaken post on Gifford's "death."

I was waiting for gun control to crop up. Indefensible? Of course I can defend the right to carry arms, using statistics on murder rates and gun control laws. But you wouldn't care.

The most fundamental fallacy of gun control advocates is the idea that making guns illegal will keep them out of the hands of people who, by definition, do illegal things. Ten million laws would not have kept a gun out of this guy's hands if he wanted one bad enough.

The end result of rigid gun controls is a lunatic or criminal plowing through a crowd of unarmed decent citizens.
