LA offers groceries for guns
LA offers groceries for guns in annual buyback
The Question of the Day is this: "Why do all of these concerned citizens want to turn in these weapons.? Who do they believe they are helping or protecting?" Is this supposed to be because of the rampant violence in our country or is there another reason?

Or, have multitudes of criminals suddenly changed for the better?
Maybe the news media will offer some explanation in the near future. As they say, "Anything is possible."

Gun Contol or People control
I ran across this extremely interesting video related to the current gun control debates. I would suggest that you watch.
American society has changed so drastically this past half century that we can no longer look past the possibilities, no...probabilities that this could, in some form, happen here.
