David Kolb responds to Second Amendment commenters

Two weeks ago, David Kolb wrote about his concerns about the Second Amendment and violence in the U.S. That column drew nearly 300 responses.

This week Kolb responded to some of the more outlandish comments in his column, "Commie guns, brunch in Paris and Hoppe's No. 9, Kolb responds to readers." Kolb wrote:
