Nope... I think you've got it right. I would repeat the old saw: "guns don't kill people, people kill people" but that's a red flag to many who want more control. And people will find a weapon no matter what you regulate (even if they want to obey the laws) Even Dylan and Kliebold had bombs at Columbine that they never used... but they could have done as much damage or more without the guns. And stiffer sentences for those who use guns in violence would also help. This is where Clinton's attempts at gun control turned out to be fraudulent. He made (or wanted to make) lots of new laws, but convictions for illegal use of guns went waaaay down. So what's the point of more laws? Anyway, I agree with you, 100% _______________________________________________ [email protected] Unsub/Pause/Etc : http://mail.linux-sxs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general
