Legislators are floundering.

Louisville Slugger, baby! One shot stop.

Home run!

BTW, that was a compelling argument you used above.

None of those sissy aluminum bats either. Real hardwood.

If anyone thinks they can get rid of all guns, check out this video.

My appologies evryone, I suppose the concept is to hard to understand. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, Mass producing guns and selling them to the public will translate to irresponsible use.

Agian, I believe guns should be mass produced and made available to citizenry, but I do not try and justify my belief to make myself feel better. Are 1000 gun deaths a year worth a lower crime rate? That depends on how much you value a life.

Which life is it that we are supposed to value? If I get a vote, I suggest mine, and the ones which belong to my family, are worth far more than the criminal who might try to take them.

There was an old saying "God created man, Samuel Colt made them equal."

Is a person more dead from a gunshot than say a stabbing or beating with a crowbar? Nefarious people have been depriving innocents of their lives since day one, and will continue to, regardless of laws to the contrary.

If they develop a light saber or photon blaster, I want one, because the home invader will have theirs, (and if I have enough lucre of the present, I can have one, legal or not). Any sentient being has to admit that methamphetamine production and sale is legislated against, has that stopped it? (Just one example of the inability of any law to regulate any activity.)

The highest courts have mandated that Law Enforcement and it's legal bond agents, City, County, State of Federal Government have no duty to provide protection to the individual. Evil exist, I would just as soon have the ability to confront it. If you choose not to, fine, but that "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" thing leads me to believe that I need the ability to protect me and mine.
