point out the facts for each side of the coin, and

I do not believe any one of us would want just
anyone to be able to buy any kind of weapon they
want. What I do believe is the issue at hand is
not gun control but crime. That is what our main
focus as a nation should be. Lets stop treating
the symptoms and start treating the decease. In a
recent article of Gun Control: An Issue for the
Nineties. David Newton, of New Jersey reviles. In
1994, 18, 954 Americans were murdered. Of that
number, 11, 832 or 62 percent were killed by guns.
