Coeur d’Alene Man: We Need More Guns, Not Less

Item: Can we prevent killings? Coeur d'Alene man says mass murders can be avoided if more people pack guns/Dave Turner, Marc Stewart, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: A Coeur d'Alene man said the massacre at Virginia Tech on Monday could never happen in a nation like Israel, where many of the citizens carry guns. Bill Perkins said he feels more secure there because of the presence of so many weapons, most which are military issue. "It dawned on me yesterday it could not have happened there," said Perkins, executive director of Compass International, Inc., based in Coeur d'Alene, which books tours for Christian groups to the Holy Land.

Question: Could the solution to the senseless carnage we are experiencing be more guns?
