any. I'm more annoyed by our propensity to pass "feel good" laws like
the AWB that are about making people feel safer by banning
superficialities. Similar to how the federalizing of airport screeners
and random checks has been shown to not be any more effective. It's
just feel-good.
The laws that existed to prevent the sale of automatic weapons were
already on the books but apparently weren't being adequately enforced.
I'm honestly scared by the attitudes of many gun nuts here in the
U.S.. And from talking to them, I wonder about my safety around some
legal gun owners. But that's a problem with the owners not the guns
themselves. That's why I have no problems about background checks.
