Guns in America

I am impressed by Sam Harris's cogent arguments with respect to gun ownership in USA.  Much ill-thought-out talk has been published since the murders at Sandy Hook School, and not all of it came from the National Rifle Association and its backers.  This article does greatly help to clarify the issues.

Here is the link to his blog article: http://www.samharris.org/blog/item/the-riddle-of-the-gun

Everyone who is interested in the pros and cons of gun control laws should read this.

Incidentally, Sam Harris is the author of two books I possess: "Lying"; and  "Freewill", both entertaining reads.
