Loose or restrict?

Take a deep breathe and let's have a suitable and rational discussion on gun control. If the Governor says he'll do what the Feds say, and the local lawmakers are in fact looking at relaxing carrying laws, well, we still aren't seeing eye to eye. What makes this country great is our ability to dialogue and have opposing views. This is a divisive one, but let's not let an ahistorical reading of ancient historical texts pave the way. Take Canada as an example. Many provinces have more guns per capita than Utah. Yet, their murder rate is a tiny fraction. Why? Culture I would say.
