I' 1l1et the statistics tell the story. According to a recent poll by the Institute of Ethics, one in five school-age boys in the United States reported bringing a gun to school. In 1998 more than 30,000 Americans were killed by guns, according to the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. And the people who are dying aren't just criminals or mobsters. They represent everyone: mothers, bankers, teachers, cousins and children. "We feel that there is a major safet), crisis in this country," said Soledud Roybal, communic~ltiolls coordinator for Hnndgun Control, an organization in Washington, D.C. "Ten children a aay are dying from guns-that is unacceptable." Desmond Riley, communi cations director for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, also in Washington D.C., said that firearms are one of the only unregulated products in ttie United States, and there is no regulatory agency that oversees the manufacturing of firearms. "There are more sufety standards on teddy bears than firearms," he said. The fact is teddy bears cun't sever a life with one pull of a trigger; guns can. And Roybal said the laws regarding handguns are "ridiculoUS." "Unfortunately, the gun' , . industry has so much control over politicians in Washington," she said. Gun purchasers do have to go through a background check, but it's a flimsy one at most. Roybal said people who buy guns at gun shows don't even have to have a background check at all. "It's a way for criminals, fugitives and stalkers to buy guns easily," she said. I am sick of hearing about children dying at school. I am tired of seeing countless stories of gun violence on the evening news. This country needs tougher gun laws, more thorough background checks for 'gun owners and improved gun 'technology like load indicators and locking devices. I've heard the saying, "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." But these people may not kill if they can't get their dirty hands on a gun so easily. If you arc as sick and tired of gun violence as I am, there are things you can do. Writing letters to your elected officials is perhaps the easiest thing to do. Roybal also suggests logging on to www.handguncontrol.org to learn more about an organization called First Monday, which is made up of college students who work together on gun control issues.

Reno is a pit bull, and even though she has a gentle disposition, her breed has long had a reputation as being viciolls animals. "In most cases, the breed's reputation precedcs their true character," said Tracy Hon, Reno's owner. "There arc no bad dogs, just b'ld owners." Following the recent mauling death of a woman in San Fnmcisco by a Presa Canario dog, there has been an increased caution about dogs and how safe they are. Despite their reputation for violence, pit bulls seem to be a populur choice ,IS. pets in Chico. Hon has been operating Canine Retreat, which houses and adopts out abandoned pit hulls, for two years and said that people .. , misunderstand the breed and there needs to Hi be more awareness of what the animals arc really about. "They're very loving and devoted animals," • she said. "They think they're a lap dog-they really do." Hon said one obstacle of running the en retrcat is finding tmly respectable owners for the dogs. "I tum down applications for these animals z weekly because the inquiring individual's • iN lifestyle is not ready for the commitment in Illost instances," she said. "It's been really hard to place them lately." Hon said with many younger mcn, ownership of a pit bull is more of a status thing.

"When you arc screening someone to take a pit. you have to make sure they understand the stigma aunched to the dog and if they arc going to be a good representative of the breed," she said. "A lot of applicants have mixed motives behind them." Hon said she is cautious of guys who come in wanting a big, tough, muscular, wide dog. "I don't want to give away a dog to someone who will make a fighter out it," The Orion/MICHELLE MOLINARI·· she said.
