Why change something that doesn't need to be changed?

Creating a scapegoat for a problem, doesn't and will NOT, stop the problem.

And for anyone wondering, I am as close to the middle as you can get in the realm of politics. If guns were banned, I am sure that Burglar would really start liking that set of butcher knives in the kitchen to. I am sure they'd also enjoy the use of the gun they have despite the fact that guns are banned.
