Well impressed when I read this.
Any of you read this article before? His book which is mentioned at the bottom?
Any comments on his opinion regarding firearms and the society we live in?

Yes, that is correct, I would like to know what that has got to do with the content of the article?
Is content more than a decade old not worth reading?

It was true then and is true now , things , if anything , are now worse .It's a creeping sickness made worse by politically motivated left-wing media.

As true today as it was then, even moreso maybe.
We have encouraged crime and criminals with idiot diatribes from the police and politicians, which usually contradict each other and add to the confusion.
The professional victims are running the show and the victim is the one who suffers. Better a gun in the hand than some well meaning "victim support" person any day.
