That Colt .45 Has One too Many Friends

  Do not befriend the gun too quickly. 

  A 2022 study found that states with permitless carry laws saw a 22 percent increase in gun homicides for the three years following the law's passage.

  Guns don't kill, but laws that let people use them to kill do. We regulate everything from banks to pollution, but somehow think we can't regulate guns. We do not need to scream about Second Amendment rights being lost; those in the general public who want guns would still be able to get them if we required them to register them first. 

  Except those who have serious criminal backgrounds and such. Nope, we shouldn't allow them to get or carry guns. Do you really want them to carry weapons? Yes, there are some people who we should not allow to carry them. 

  That Colt .45 has one too many friends. Don't give it another.
