Cold dead hands (or a lawyer), was Bowling for Columbine

[Amanda Geist]

I haven't been following this, nor seen what seems to be something in
*excessively* bad taste, but even so..

> Charlton Heston scared me - 'from my cold dead hands'?! Who does the guy
think he's kidding?

I figured he has really strong views on his right to own guns. So do I. I
don't think I'd open fire, but I'd certainly be in a lawyer's office and
courtroom if anyone tried to empty our gun cabinet. Bad enough they ask you
in children's medical exams: do you have any guns in the house? To which I
have steadfastly refused to make answer, yea or nay; I inform them that I do
not consider that their business.

We hunt. Our children will, when they're old enough. They at least will know
their way around a gun well enough to know what the hell a gun is capable
of. Enough to treat them with a healthy respect, which children who only see
them on TV, who have never seen that guns make things *really die,* do not.
