When Fisticuffs Become Gun Fights, Broken Noses Become Murders

   Fist fights escalate into mass murders when guns are invited. And, if half of Texas has guns, half of the fist fights are going to become gun fights.
   It's called escalation. And, if you tell everyone to go out and buy a gun, guess what you're going to get?
   At a party Saturday in Texarkana, Texas, three people were killed and three others injured. "Apparently, this all started when a fist fight broke out between two men at a party," the Texarkana Texas Police said. "At some point during this fight, at least two men there pulled out rifles and started shooting." 
  If one man has a gun, another pulls out his. And what should have resulted in no worse than a broken nose ends up in a macabre Halloween scene.
   America allows the proliferation of guns, even encourages it. We aren't too smart. We can't do anything about that, we call as someone is hauled off in a hearse. Guns are a God-given right.
  Are they? One wonders if God is really on the side of the gun advocates.
