I am not a gun control advocate. I do not mind having to fill out a form and get a background check. I own assault type guns. I enjoy shooting them. Maybe it's a military thing.
Once again, banning them is an attempt to treat the symptom, not the disease. Who is doing the shooting? Certainly not me or anyone I know. If we ban them, what's next? I could easily kill a lot of people in my car. Quick drive downtown at noon in a big truck could do a lot of damage. -Gary > -----Original Message----- > From: Maureen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2001 11:06 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: Ashcroft testimony (Re: Canada-U.S. border deal goes too > far: critics) > > > At 11:45 AM 12/6/01 -0500, you wrote: > >I think most people would feel afraid to be at a typical gun > show (I know > >I would).
