The Constitution is too precious to muck around with just to 'see what
happpens'....

No it won't...hasn't dropped anywhere gun control has been enacted, in
fact gun deaths have risen...
It was easier to buy guns in the 1960s and 1970s, yet we never saw
drive-by shootings...now it has been made inordinately difficult for the
average, law-abiding citizen to buy a gun, and we see ERs overwhelmed
with gun injuries and deaths...
I think there should be laws ENCOURAGING people to buy guns and
carry them with them everywhere...if MORE people had guns, the crooks and
creeps would then have reason to pause and wonder if their intended
victims just might shoot back, instead of being 'sitting ducks'...
I used to be a strong advocate of gun control...but life ain't the rosy
'peace and love' scenario we envisioned it would become when we were
younger...and the plain fact of it is, we need to go back to the
vigilante days of the Wild West -- a time when disarming the law-
abiding citizenry also would not have worked...
It's a sad fact of the current state of affairs, and if you say you hate
the idea of our society reverting to 'cowboy justice', you won't get any
argument from me...but that doesn't change the FACT that that is the only
thing that will work at this point...
It also doesn't change the fact that what is lost in this gun control
debate is the question of just WHO is orchestrating this scenario, to
manipulate the public to be more willing to accept the further erosion of
our rights...cui bono?
