I can tell anyway...(:o


Thanks, Stan. *broad grin breaking out as I re-holster my revolver*

LOL..that was just a joke now...

Like you said though, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever to ask lawabiding people to give up their guns when criminals have a ready blackmarket available. I'm not sure what the solution is exactly, but taking guns away from people who are law-abiding good citizens isn't going to cut gun-crime for the obvious reason: law-abiding good citizens aren't out there shooting people. If a man will shoot his spouse, he will stab her too, sad and depraved as that is. And if the drunken man gets into an argument with his "friend" and shoots him, he will stab him too. The problem with the State of the Union is that people no longer restrain themselves, and give in to feelings.

People often cite Great Britain's and other European countries' strict gun bans, and point to that as the way to go. But unfortunately America isn't Great Britain: Our society is much more violent and filled with criminals of all stripe. I guess freedom attracts criminals and other ne'er-do-wells as well as good citizens.
