Regarding the presidential election
Permalink +Thu, Oct 14, 2004, 8:16 pm // Site Management
(My conservative readers can now stop reading. Nothing local posted this morning.)At the debate last night, Bush stressed that rather than controls on who buys guns, we should more strongly punish those who commit crimes with a gun. Bush is against the gun control legislation and against banning assault guns. We all know this.
This contrasts, to my way of thinking, with his opinion of preemptive war where he favors invading or bombing other countries before they have a chance to support a terrorist attack on us.
Why not a preemptive attack on gun use in crimes? Why not try and keep the guns out of the hands of felons? Why not reduce or do what we can as a country to reduce the number of assault rifles? Why not do what we can to reduce the number of police and law enforcement deaths from criminals using these weapons of efficient killing? Why is Bush against preeptive action on a horrible domestic problem?
