The San Diego Union-Tribune has an article in today's paper on a local woman's efforts to ban billboard advertising of gun shows. She sees the violence guns have brought to her community, so the last thing Bevelynn Bravo wants is for them to be advertised around her neighborhood. In her five-year crusade, Bravo has tried […]
Today's Union-Tribune crime briefs contain four violent attacks. Only one of them used a firearm; two were knives and the last was a broken bottle. If people want to hurt other people, gun control won't stop it from happening.
Guns are bad. Really bad. At least, that's what the Academy Award-winning film "Bowling for Columbine" purported to show.
