What needs to happen is not to take away one of the rights upon which the country was founded, but rather to punish offenders. To punish them in a HARD manner, such that NOBODY would want to have it happen to them. Tough jails, hard sentences, and yes, the death penalty. That is the only way deterrence will work. I for, one, will never, ever give up my gun.

AMEN BROTHER!!! With you all the way!
BTW the same right that let's magazines like Guns and Ammo and Soldier of Fortune be printed in this country, is also the same one that lets heavy metal music be aired on the radio. It also allows us to have a free press, women the right to vote, for people to practice whatever religion they please, to protest their government and lots of other things. Don't be so quick to say that those publications shouldn't be allowed. The publications or music that you might enjoy may be next. Freedom of speech and religion is the very cornerstone that
the United States was founded on, no matter how hateful or disagreeable it may be.
A lot of you must think the US is a horrible place to live, at least that's how you all sound. I can assure you that is a wonderful place to live. I would not live anywhere else. And we don't live in fear here contrary to what all seem to think. Must of us are pretty care-free. We enjoy our lives and wouldn't change them.
