Leonard Harding didn’t get rich selling guns, so now he attacks them:
In the case of gun proliferation – statistics show that the more guns that are dispersed in the population, the more people die from gun inflicted injury. The numbers of family members and innocents, including suicides in these death statistics are startling. A majority of Americans conclude that gun possession should be controlled. Others don’t see it that way; to these folk the importance of the right to own a gun trumps the unfortunate accidents.
…..
Many firearm fanatics like to strut around carrying weapons at port arms, daring others to say something. When I sold guns for a living (yep, I did), I always pointed out to young men that carrying a gun distorts your perception of reality. A gun will make you stick around in a situation when your unarmed good sense would tell you to find another solution.

What a disgusting piece of work, the world is full of dangerous people, that’s reality. When dangerous people attack, you can’t reason with them, you can’t outrun them, and you can’t expect them to be merciful. You can fight or try to flee, and fleeing is not an option for most people, so we fight.
