Are you actually sitting there in the living room on your recliner with a loaded gun on your lap? If four guys break your door in you have no time to go upstairs to unlock your gun cabinet do you? you have no kids running around there do you :eek:
How much crime do you (and any so-called law abiding citizens) need to convict you that "banning" anything (murder, weapons, alcohol, narcotics, off-the books accounts, bribery etc.) never solves the intended problem. Think about it. The problem is not individuals carrying guns. The problem is individuals USING guns against defensless and most often innocent individuals. So, if an individual intends to eventually commit a murder, it surely would not be dismayed by a law prohibiting carrying guns. All this talk about banning guns is just an attempt by people terrified by these sensless killing to "DO SOMETHING", and it is of course understandable. Which does not make it wise or even well thought of.
didn't you say a few posts back.. so which is it, locale to locale or country to country for our gun control?
