Onions to …

• those who think we value guns more than lives when the truth is if someone wants to murder the masses, they’ll find ways to do it — whether getting guns illegally or using different weapons.
• people who think banning guns will eliminate mass killings when they’re forgetting Sept. 11, the Oklahoma City bombing and the Unabomber.
