We've said before that we're moderates on almost all issues. That means middle of the road and that means "gun control" as well. We like to read the opinions of others, as long as they're well thought out and well written. Alabama's Yellowhammer News is often criticized for being too conservative, even nutty. Late last week, the publication blamed recent mass murders on the fact that Americans have become more evil.
It's something no rational person would want to believe, but is it actually true? Or is it a case of past generations simply knowing if they acted on their evil impulses they would be immediately punished...and not by a court of law, but by a gang of vigilantes who would make every second of their last minutes on earth a living hell?
Maybe it's a little bit of both?

You be the jury. What would you have given Blake Austin Hines? What do you think Hines will get this time?
If Blake Austin Hines had gotten what he deserved for the armed home invasion, he wouldn't have been around in January to steal those two vehicles...
