Just because we have the right to keep and bear arms, doesn't mean we should, said a caller-in named Julie on the Doug Wright Show.
I think of a news story I read last night, of two people in a road rage, killing each other in a shootout at a car wash in Michigan Wednesday. Had they not been carrying guns, the disagreement would not have escalated into a shooting. The chances of death would have been a whole lot less if neither had a gun, and maybe less if just one of them had a gun. There is a tendency, when the other guy has the upper hand, to drop your pride, back down and let the other guy win the argument.
Pride can kill. Not sure its worth that. When the gun becomes an enforcer of pride, then we are better off without our gun. More, pride is one of the social ills behind the gun violence in our nation.
