Excuse me, Corbeil, but Alaska is one of many states that use to be a SAFE place to live long before Big Oil and the NRA moved in.  We never use to read on a daily basis about senseless shootings:  the unarmed man shot at a Holiday gas station because of a stare down, five people shot dead by teenagers during a drug deal gone bad, two separate families that lost a parent and sibling(s) at the hands of another family member, or how about 60 people gunned down in the past two years in and around Anchorage/Mat-Su.  And let's not forget about the home invasions that've taken place since the beginning of this year.  Yes.  People do have a right to own a gun(s) and even use a gun to protect themselves and their property.  But you pro-gunners take it too far.  Too far man.  Radicalness or extremists  never should trump common sense.
