    If and when the vast majority of this once great country shares your mindset, I will happily emigrate back to the land of my forebears as it is certainly a viable alternative in such a circumstance.

    Since I don't believe we are there yet, doesn't it make more sense for you to go to Cuba/North Korea/Pick you Marxist Paradise?

    I would submit that the actions of a few should not affect the rights of the majority either, which is what so many are calling for every time a nut job goes over the cliff.

    Me too. Now if only we could profile likely offenders in advance BEFORE they commit their crimes. Oh wait, that wouldn't be politically correct would it? Who should we blame for that I wonder?

  4. Well, it was not unlawful to own slaves at one time...times changed as society evolved technologically and societally.

    I am suggesting our gun laws catch up to the technology and modern times...that's all.

  5. Moderation and balance.

    When we swing too far to an extreme, we swing back.

    The speed, due to technology is making that swing faster and more extreme.

    America is not a balanced and moderate nation...which I think should be our goal.

  6. Why wait for utopia?

    Makes no sense.

    What would you propose if you were a congressman?

  8. Oh, how about going along with what law enforcement suggests for a change when it comes to gun control?

    Why wait indeed. I hear North Korean gulags are fabulously "cool" this time of year. I'm sure someone who is there would gladly swap you circumstances, and the best part of all is, you don't have to worry about your fellow workers who are probably half way to insanity at the very least, shooting at you with modern weapons! You're far more likely do die in some other more gruesome way.

    The only people you have to worry about shooting at you, would be, oh RIGHT, the terribly brutal and repressive regime with all the guns!

    여행 안전 !

    Law enforcement regarding gun control varies depending on location. Are you OK with gun control being a local issue? We are assuming that owners are legal, properly screened, responsible citizens.
