Banning handguns - so they won't be stolen?

Alphecca makes the obvious point:

By this logic, we could prevent all crimes of theft by simply banning the temptations: Jewelry, laptops, DVD players, cars, wristwatches, prescription pain killers, and so on. Brilliant! As a bonus, by banning private automobile ownership, traffic infractions and drunk driving deaths will drop like a stone.

Bias? What media bias?

CBS News' Brian Montopoli makes his known:

So what Montopoli appears to say is that since media thinks there’s a problem of gun availability in this country, it’s up to media to fan the flames of the people to demand more gun control laws. Notice that he doesn’t want to use a story of how some citizen prevented a killing or ended a tragedy as the “hook” for the “discussion” but rather the horrific and rare shooting at Virginia Tech as such.

what a waste

I am so sick of reading news like this, as it seems that the thugs that do this have absolutley no regard for life, and it truly is a horrific shame that there is a serious loss of life on the Streets of San Francisco. Sad part is, I really don't think that the handgun ban that will come into effect soon in the city will do any good, there seems to be a bit of a disconnect in believing that banning guns will take the guns away from the evil punks that kill, like they're gonna hand in their guns like any other law abiding citizen. It's a crying shame that these things happen to people, and it makes me sick that I still read about this kind of stuff going on.
