If you're adamant that guns need to be taken out of the hands of American citizens, step up and do something about it on one level where you might make a difference. If you work in an office building that is patrolled by armed guards (not the police), demand that they be disarmed. If your child attends a school that has armed guards patrolling the area (once again, not the police), demand that they stop using guns as they go about their duties. If you're wealthy and utilize the services of armed bodyguards, demand that they stop carrying firearms (of course this includes any celebrities). If you're a politician at the local, state or national level and you support gun control initiatives that would severely limit the ability of the average, law-abiding citizen to legally acquire and possess firearms, step up and demand that your security patrol service no longer includes guns on it's inventory of tools. If it's good enough for some of us, it's good enough for all of us.
