I will admit my bias against guns except under well regulated situations. My my great grandfather shot himself and the effects were still to be found with my mother (and probably me). We have a standing military, state police, local police, security guards, etc. It's a shame they're not effective. I do realize that if a gun isn't handy a frying pan, knife, strangulation will do in the heat of a domestic argument. But I have the impossible wish that killing would stop.
