<< Every incident of genocide in history was preceded by disarming the people.>> Do you truly believe that this country has maintained it's freedoms over the last two hundred years because of hand guns gun's in the hands of the general population? Or because of the foresight of our founding fathers with regards to the basic setup of our system? <<It's precisely because we have the second amendment that all the others will survive.>> Dave I am not suggesting that the government "disarm the people" Just a little common sense. << Ever see the movie Red Dawn?.....Ever see the movie Demolition Man? >> No.....
