"Cold Dead Hands"

Dear Elephant-

I saw this article this morning about a 3-year old shooting herself in the head. Tell me again why we think handguns in the home are a good idea? And how again does having a 9mm in you nightstand relate to having a “well regulated militia?” Ironic that this incident occurred at the same time as the passing of former NRA president Charlton Heston who once famously quipped "from my cold dead hands." If Heston wants to go to the grave with a gun in his hand, so be it. But what about the gun in the hand of the 3 year old? Why shouldn't we be fighting to protect little hands like hers?

Peace,

Donkey
