The Wild, Wild, Village

I've been listening to various people in the Village expound on gun control. They seem very nervous that someone might take away their weapons, or make it harder for them to secure new one's. The attitude doesn't register in my mind. It's just beyond my wildest imagination that the world can become a better place by all of us arming ourselves to the hilt. One fellow was explaining how his son went out and bought a plate of ammunition for his assault weapons. Frankly, if I were that fearful of life and worried so much that I needed an arsenal of weapons to feel safe, I would prefer to be dead.
