Listened to it on the radio here in Atlanta. Good debate. What I really liked was during the question-and-answer phase after the debate. The last question Boortz took went something like this, paraphrased, of course:

"Hello, my name is such-and-such. I am a student of such-and-such here at GSU. In all of my 30 years, I have never owned or even held a gun. I will not allow guns in my home and my children are not allowed around guns. Mr Boortz are you telling me that I should go out and get a gun?"

His response:
"Absolutely not. If you are not comfortable around firearms, then you should not own one. I would never advocate such a thing for someone who does not want one. You may not realize it, but you reap a benefit from others owning guns and having them in their homes. When a criminal walks down a street, looking for a home to rob, he does not know who does and who does not have guns in their home. Now let me ask you a question. Would you be willing to put up a sign in front of your home that says 'This is a gun-free household?' "

There was a slight pause, and then she said "No", but it was difficult to hear because of the burst of applause that came from the audience. Love it, love it, love it! :D
 
Sounds like I missed an interesting program

It was a good debate, but way too short in time. Ms Tucker's premise was 'guns and owners should be registered like autos and drivers'.

Last I heard, we have about 50,000 deaths on the highways a year. I failed to see how revenue enhancement via licensing drivers and cars has resulted in a savings of lives?
Neal did a great job though!
