What change do we want? Well, since guns cross borders easily within the United States, I want a combination of national-level gun registration (a "well-regulated" situation, just as the Constitution calls for) and national-level gun control, which would be a limit to how many guns any individ

sarcasm transliterates as "putrefying thought" - it's insulting to begin with, but gets worse with time. Anyone you care for, don't do it to them. The spirit of Deac's post was good. The political issues behind the murders don't need to be discussed here, but they certainly have nothing to
