 Subject: [ZION] Gun Control Impossible in the USA
 
 All the talk of gun control is really quite besides the point.  The
fact
 is, the government in the United States couldn't control the guns even
if
 it could pass the legislation.  They can't even control the drugs.
This
 country is completely out of control, and until there is widespread
 national repentance things will only get worse.  --JWR
 

John,

What are the correlating factors between gun ownership and illegal drug
usage that lead you to make this comparison?  Are you suggesting that,
like drugs, gun ownership is an activity used to escape from the
harshness or boredom of everyday life that is so highly addictive that
people are willing to lose or risk everything to pursue it, and
therefore it cannot be controlled by lawful means? If that's not the
case, what is the correlation? Or are you saying that laws can't control
anything because they can't control drugs? Or are you just trolling to
try to revive the always popular and divisive gun control thread?

Tom

There is no correlation between drugs and guns except that they are both 
examples of something that the law cannot control, or at least cannot 
eliminate.  And yes, I was just trolling.  I ran across an old post and 
just reposted it.  grin --JWR
