We seem to disagree on what is possible and what is imposible. LIke I have
said befre when you are a victum you generaly take one of two paths, do away
with guns all together, or get them in the hands of more law abiding
citizens. I don't believe you will ever take guns from the criminals. It
hasn't been done in europe where they have much stronger gun laws. All that
scheduling firearms in the US wil do is turn patriots (the very people we
need to help insure the freedom of our country) into criminals. Our freedom
will surly follow.
Same goal, different idea of reality.
