Gun Control

I'm not a huge fan of it, in that I don't think that the sale of guns to private citizens in the U.S. should be outlawed. I'm less worried about regulation of high-powered guns - but even then I don't think a complete ban is proper.

I wouldn't bother linking this article if I hadn't independently read the condemnation of America's "gun culture" in the wake of the Virginia Tech murders. But it seems a fitting rebuttal.

Premise: VT shootings happened because of America's lax gun controls
Rebuttal: Shootings and murders every bit as heinous happen in countries with much stricter limits.
