We aren't in Canada, we are in the United States. We have RIGHTS here. You and yours will not be able to ever get an amendment to take those rights away, so instead the left has tried to legislate over these rights at state and national level which is why we have so many different laws by state.
Lets also remember that this country is supposed to be a loose confederation of states, not some strong central government. -----Original Message----- From: Larry Lyons [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 9:28 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Jack Thompsom is an Asshole (VT Shooting) > What is even sadder is that if VT had not been a gun free zone, the > death toll probably would have been much lower.

That's absolute and utter bullshit. What you're saying is an insult to the memory of the victims of this tragic act. Look at the frecking facts. Virginia has very loose gun laws, no waiting period and a background check system that is simply a joke. What that guy did is go off campus, literally across the street to get the first pistol. Then 25 miles away to get the second one. I'm surprised he didn't go to Christianburg Arms and Ammo - they have a drive through window. The only way gun control works is if its applied the same everywhere on a national basis. Otherwise its too easy to get around state and local level laws. And there are too many people who equate their firearms with their manhood (or more likely lack thereof) to let that happen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
