The statistics are not from the NRA, they're from the FBI. When in this have I ever insulted you, soledad? I am not a "Gun hoarding nutjob". If you want to push for a constitutional amendment to override the second amendment or get a USSC decision on the constitutionality of gun ownership, fine. Until then, the Second amendment is the law of the land.

My stance on this issue has nothing to do with my "selfish needs". It has to do with constitutional law, and also the fact that gun bans do nothing more than restrict the activity of law abiding individuals, and have no effect on crime. If, again, the courts and the police would start enforcing the laws already on the books it would have a far more tangible effect on crime than creating new laws that judges and prosecutors can arbitrarily apply.
I apologize, Lady's Human. You have never insulted me. You're absolutely right about that.

This issue just really ticks me off. I can respect your dedication to the Constitution, but I do not think that our forefathers had any clue what we would turn "arms" into and I don't feel anyone in this country should feel they have a right to an uzi.

It's so insane to me I find it hard to believe. But you are not a gun hoarding nutjob. Sorry for the inference to the contrary.
