Yesterday morning, while on the Paul Gallo Show on SuperTalk Mississippi, the subject of gun control came up. I said it's time we had a conversation about whether or not we should restrict ownership of some types of guns here in Mississippi. Mind you, I own a shotgun, and I'm not giving it up. Nor am I advocating that anyone else should.
But we need to at least discuss whether or not assault rifles have any place in our society. The AR-15, the weapon used in the Connecticut school murders, is an example of a gun that might not ought to be available to the general public. And I'll tell you why.
