17. And what have we got?

A gun-crazy country. Arming for Armageddon.

I take it you're happy with the status quo. You and I are in the opposite camps you talk about. We're not going to agree any time soon.

Guns at the level we have them in this country are not just "a lever in the culture wars." They are a threat to civilized society. They are a massive public health threat, costing us billions. Anyone who's not afraid of this level of uncontrolled weapons build-up in this country is not quite right in the head.

We are all losers if we let the status quo remain.

This one you've got right. Rec. Scuba Mar 2013 #1
