Mark Osler: Guns and Kittens

I was intrigued a few weeks ago by a report that a group called the "Arizona Citizen's Defense League" was protesting a program where Tucson police destroyed guns turned in to them by residents. The Defense League feels strongly that rather than being destroyed, these guns should be redistributed within the community.

My first thought was that the Defense League almost seemed to be treating guns like kittens -- their attitude was that these abandoned guns should be given to a good home. My second thought, a jolt, was the realization that we do treat kittens and guns in very similar ways; after all, in many communities stray cats are rounded up and destroyed like those Arizona guns.
Free Guns to a good Home. trolololol.
