The other day one of my coworkers brought in a poster she got at MOMA a while back. The poster was filled with news clippings of people who have died as a result of gun violence. The meaning of the poster was simple, that guns are bad and they kill!

After thinking about it awhile, I thought to myself how come people are so hung up on guns? I mean, there?s no doubt in my mind that there are FAR MORE people who are stabbed in this country every year then shot. Why isn?t there an anti-knife movement? Is it because everyday people use knives responsibly? Is it because we couldn?t imagine life without being able to cut our filets with ease?

I think it?s all a matter of perspective. There are a lot of law abiding Americans who do use their guns responsibly and take proper precaution when using them… like when cutting a stake with a knife.

But Ben, there?s a big difference between a knife and a gun.

Sure, how is someone going to cut a t-bone with a .22? I have no idea, but the fact is its my right as an American to try!
