right to keep and bare arms. i accept it, it doesn t mean i have to like it, right? i think they re dangerous things and we re a gun society, and most legitimate societies around the world who don t allow guns, kids don t get killed. i think we can all agree that we don t like it when kids get killed, but the point is the safest people are the people with the guns. there s no indication it s safer in britain. how many kids in great britain do you think were killed with guns. handguns are banned and the death rate by gun isn t any lower than it is here. we have to roll. we can do that tomorrow. ahead, more controversy for elle magazine. did the fashion publication intentionally hide the body sounds like she s dead hide the body of one of the actresses featured on the cover next month? the s motory kept me up all nig. that s next on the five.
