Some
believe that the banning of all firearms would eliminate person to person
violence in a utopia that only exists in fantasy. Evidence to the contrary is
that several days following the most recent and noticeable massacre at Sandy
Hook Elementary, a man in China, where firearms are
highly regulated and illegal, walked into an elementary school and brutally
murdered children with a knife. Where does the regulation and oversight of the
people stop? Do we now ban all knives, guns and pointy objects; or maybe we
should encourage, develop and congratulate those individuals around us who
would stand up to people that intend to harm us. The commonly used phrase,
fight fire with fire, is a prime example of the steps we need to take to combat
this terrible condition that all humans regardless of beliefs are capable of.
