I hate the gun arguments. The conservatives act as if the constitution bans private organizations or companies from setting their own rules. Hells bells, there is no reason at all that a baseball stadium could not ban guns. On the other hand, liberals attempt to disguise efforts at limitation with the use of the word registration. Personally, I think every gun should be registered and logged in a central database along with ballistic records. Those steps in no way infringe on the freedom to own a gun and they assist the authorities in catching criminals who use guns in their crimes. Call me crazy, but I think both sides are wrong.
