Santa Barbara Victim Father Compares Handguns to Nukes

Richard Martinez, father of Chris Martinez, Compares Owning Handguns To Having A Nuke (YouTube)

The gun lobby will no doubt characterize my statement yesterday at the police station as the rantings of a grief-stricken parent. Hannah Arendt in her book on violence points out that it's a bullsh*t argument. She observed that people can be both rational and emotional at the same time. Because I'm emotional, it doesn't mean that what I say is irrational. Nobody needs to own three semi-automatic handguns. It doesn't make sense. We don't let people have nuclear bombs in their basements. Why? Because it's too dangerous.
