FYI pezz... Amazon has added a home improvement category and has a special for shipping $4.95. They still don't have tax so if you need a big item it might be worth a look just to save the 8.5%...

Until some real solutions are found, that's a wasted gesture that opens the door to infringing on more of our freedoms. I really don't give a flying fart about guns, I have none to take away. But if we decide that as a nation we're better off without them, wouldn't we be better off without others? Let's take away freedom of speech. That will end a lot of violence. Someone uses inflammatory speech or flips you the bird, don't get mad and start a fight or shoot a gun, just have him arrested for voicing angry words that could lead to an outbreak of violence.

An acknowledgement by all politicos that guns are not the problem would be a start. Certainly, lax gun laws may have contributed to some of the deaths, but we lead the world in non-gun related murders by far. Every effort should be made to identify what social issues exist here that promote this violence. Until that happens, I don't even want to talk about gun laws.
