Some Gun Buyback Editorials from the Free Press

From the Detroit Free Press, regarding our wonderful gun buyback here in Detroit.

Don't disarm the public

Gun buybacks for safer streets? Oh sure, I can just see all the goons and gang-bangers lined up to turn in the guns! Think crime rates are high now? All you have to do is disarm the law-abiding homeowners of their only means of self-protection and watch crime skyrocket as criminals will have no fear of an armed public.

Then of course the alternative is to dial 911 and hope and pray that someone will show up. When they do, 45 minutes later, an ambulance will be provided to carry you out. Of course liberal commentators with comfortable bank accounts living in gated, well-policed communities have no such concerns.
