The Christmas toys are filling up the stores. My favorite discount chain of stores sells toy guns that beep, bang, and flash pretty lights. My nephew some times points one of his toy weapons at me.The city of Chicago banned toy guns. I applaud their ban. Our love affair with guns begins in childhood. If you have never experienced it let me say that gunpowder smells very good. I enjoyed going to the gun range when I was in the Army. I am happy that Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders discussed the different types of guns. The rifles used in hunting are rarely used in crimes. We ban the sale of machine guns and automatic weapons. How can we modify existing laws to decrease gun violence? It's time for a national discussion.
I lettered in archery when I was in college. I won't use a compound bow. I like hitting a target using muscle power. Very few crimes get committed with a bow and arrow. I prefer bows over guns.
