I say that the mentally ill are citizens, too. And if you deprive them of guns, then they will just have to resort to the methods other crazy people use in other countries where gun ownership is restricted - car bombs, improvised explosive devices, home-made nerve gas in subways, kidnapping, etc., not to mention, yes, guns that can still be obtained illegally. Mentally ill folks with a wish to do harm to others will always still find a way.
As for Ann, yes, I suppose job 1 is to remain a popular syndicated author and sell books. OK with me, I am a capitalist. But she has been a consistent proponent of gun owner's rights for almost as long as I have been reading her work. Several years ago, she wrote about her experience being mugged, in Washington DC I think, at gunpoint (or was it knife poit?) -- and how helpless and angry that made her feel. Fortunately for her, it turned out OK. But I would be very surprised if Ann did not have a CWP now.
She may be preaching to the choir, and if so, I love it when she preaches to me, but she also drives liberals absolutely foaming at the mouth crazy. So it is easy to see some of them are listening, and reading, too. Certainly gives me a warm fuzzy feeling to see their reaction to Ann. You go, girl!!
