In my column on Tuesday, I mentioned that it has been the rabid gun supporters—rather than those trying to stop gun violence—who have been galvanized in recent months. Here is another example: A group called the Armed Citizen Project has proposed giving away shotguns to residents of a neighborhood in Orlando, Fla., called Sunshine Gardens. It is a little unclear why the leaders of the gun giveaway chose this neighborhood, since it is not especially high-crime, but Ron Ritter, the organization’s “state director,” told reporters that he is looking for gun owners to donate arms that can be distributed to people in the neighborhood.

“This is perfectly legal because we’re offering a certified gun instruction class,” he said.

But Garen J. Wintemute, director of the Violence Prevention Research Program at the University of California, Davis, told the Associated Press in March, “There is solid evidence that in communities with higher rates of gun ownership, burglary rates are up, not down, and that’s because guns are hot loot.”

Here is today’s report.
