Jim: please put down that crack pipe for just one moment while I congratulate you on your award for most boring post on SI ever!...I don't even know where to begin on this one, it just so silly and disconnected. You assert, "I seriously doubt that you even know what you are talking about with your emotional use of stupid terms like "Saturday Night Special" or "cop-killer bullets."...well, cop killer bullets and Sat Night Specials are not TERMS, you dope, they are subjects or things (did I happen to notice in your profile that you did not complete high school?)...and growing up in NYC, I know a thing or two about both...tell me what you want to know, I'll give you an answer...here's one for ya...cop killer bullets are actually a myth...they DO NOT penetrate any better than lead, steel or brass and were developed only to reduce drag and damage to the gun barrel, but the media got a hold of the story and the rest is history...any idea who ran the story?...any answers from you on how the NRA modified the bill from Biaggi? You suggest I plagarized from some anti-NRA site...here's another newsflash: it's not considered plagarism if you site the source, which is what I did, but I'm guessing they don't teach ya that stuff in high school. The NRA's program geared toward kids is about the UGLIEST thing I've seen since Joe Cool sold Camel cigarettes to kids. Nothing personal, but your arguments are so old and worn and disconnected, I've only heard 'em some 2,000 times, but rant on. As an aside, the intent of the founding fathers, and as the quote below infers, was to arm each man in the event a militia was needed to be formed, not arm the whole damn world!: "Before a standing army can rule the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States." --- Noah Webster of Pennsylvania, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, Philadelphia, 1787
