Many of you know that Katie teaches economics. One of her favorite modern economists is Johh Stossel who has a show on Fox Business News each Thursday at 8. Watching that show so she can incorporate clips into her lesson is a weekly routine at our house :D

This week's show is about gun control, "More Guns, Less Crime!?" John is an advocate of voluntary exchange between consenting adults and limited government intervention. He frequently has economists on his program that research the positive association between free markets and economic growth.

He hasn't yet made a blog post about this week's show, but I expect one today.

If you happen to be watching TV Thursday night, this show may provide an interesting perspective, somewhat different than mainstream media's perspective, into a subject matter that I know many on this forum care about.

One reason WOMEN should have them and know how to use them. It is not just thiefs who need to eat some lead sometimes.

I know this woman is hurting right now from having to do what she did. But at least she is still alive!
