    How many more laws are needed? Perhaps we need a law that makes it illegal to break laws.

    I wouldn't worry too much. I have good friends who are law makers and good friends who are died-in-the-wool anarchists.

    Another day, another couple of gun incidents in public.

    I think I'm starting to believe that we should have tighter gun control laws although I generally despise further eroding our freedoms by giving the government more control over our lives.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    Fuck it. Another payment in blood for freedom.

    Yes, and I'd even say the idea of guns for everyone, the proliferation of guns in American is an abuse of freedom. Abuse it and eventually you lose it. Not saying their aren't conscientious gun owners but there are far too many who are not. Far too many want them to remain easy to obtain. Far too many are not well trained in their use. It's related to abuse of and misunderstanding of the concept of freedom.

    Once again... I don't think anyone is saying, 'Get rid of all guns'. We are saying, 'We should do the best we can to make it hard for nutcases to get one'.
    I understand the arguement, if someone really wants to get a gun... he can. I just think that is should be tougher for him to get one, than buying one at a retail store with a minimal background check... or at a Gun Show or from a private citizen with no background checks and no record of the transaction.
    Make that asshole have to deal with criminals on the street who might rob and kill them. Force them go into those dangerous places and deal with those criminally minded person to get what they want. Make him run the risk of getting murdered by a criminal gun seller... or get arrested for trying to obtain a gun from an undercover cop. Make him take risks in their quest to obtain weapons to indescriminantly shoot us.
    I believe in Second Amendment rights. I do not believe the Second Amendment should protect the criminal who obtains weapons through illegal means.
