Reading the editorials - I saw this one HERE
Congratulations to the city of Fort Wayne on the smoking ban that took effect June 1. Think of all the lung cancer that will be prevented.
Now let’s take on the gun problem. Make it illegal to possess a handgun within the city limits. Law enforcement personnel initially could be allowed to carry guns, but eventually even that would be unnecessary. Think of the homicides that will be prevented. Britain and Japan have very strict gun laws. Their homicide rates are a small fraction of ours. I'm pretty sure that we'd have a tough time getting rid of the Second Amendment. Do you honestly believe that it would be unnecessary for police not to carry guns? Drugs are illegal, and people still can acquire them. This is like saying, lets make crime illegal, then we wouldn't even need police. Look at the prohibition - liquor was illegal, guess what? People still drank.
Three cheers for Councilman John Crawford for persevering in a noble cause. And three cheers for former mayor Paul Helmke for his efforts to control guns.
I can't tell if this editorial is another sarcastic smoking ban editorial. I expect to hear from Mayoral Elect from the Nutso Party - David (They are trying to take your guns away) McRoach.
