There may be some hope for you TP. Apparently as a youth you knew about common sense, personal responsibility, and ideals.

I can't figure how it is that you now call your self liberal and support greater restrictiveness. That seems a contradiction in itself. You also seem to be for less personal freedom to live as a responsible citizen. I understand that there is less trust among the masses and a tendency to act out more. Restricting access to guns does not effect the trend in that direction. A principles based society does. Why not consider the causes of the weakening of the values in our culture. Our cultural values, the one's you knew of as a youth (which may be changing) are founded on the principles of the Constitution.

We are a very young nation. Many older nations with fine constitutions around the world have found themselves paralyzed with disfunctional laws and economic systems in the wake of corruption by the elite. Are we headed in that direction? Gun control is a bandade that allows us to avoid dealing with the underlying social issues that are bringing the American people to be overcome by a sense of futility and defeat. Criminal laws with no effective means of enforcement are meaningless. Administrations that can snicker at their oath of office and openly lie to the citizenry give license to the rest of us to circumvent any standard we are clever enough to disrespect.

Time to make some changes, eh. Gun control is aiming at the wrong target.
