Suicide By Freedom

Charlie Pierce is turning into a regular go-to guy:
I once again call on all those "millions of responsible gun owners" out there that I keep hearing about every time there's a gun atrocity in the news, and we are told that, in response, we are not supposed to even, maybe, consider, possibly, talking a little about, hypothetically, adjusting both our laws and our attitudes toward firearms in order to make the populace more murderous, lest we find ourselves slandering these "millions of responsible gun owners."
Here's my request. Rid yourself of Wayne LaPierre as a national spokesman.
Gun owners are always reacting to calls for Gun Regulation by saying they have the right to protect themselves, but what about the rest of us?  As a society though, do we not have the right to protect ourselves from them?
