This should be fun - I agree that we must keep guns out of the hands of Reform Party members:

"There may well be a brawl on the convention floor. It's a real possibility. That's what happens when you let brown shirts into your party," said Jim Mangia, the party's national secretary, who is aghast at what he views as a right-wing takeover of the party by Buchanan.

You are not listening. (Either that or you have wagging finger syndrome)

The NRA has had programs(common sense controls) in place for years. They advocated locks, waiting periods, proper education etc, way back, but clinton said no way, as it was not then politically expedient.

He has to wait for a tragedy, then jumps on Air Force One to beat it to the location to hang his head in sorrow, wagging that finger about how "gun control" would have stopped it. Shame on him.

I hear of kids that are killed by drunk drivers......funny I do not see Air Force One roll up to express anger and promise legislation to stop it.
Politics.
election year.

<<<t is that intransigence, the idea that either guns must be freely available everywhere or nobody will have them that will lead to the result you fear most>>

It is that kind of compromise that allowed the tobacco Nazis to eliminate all smoking on airflights. It started with requests for only a smoking section in the rear of the plane but ended with a total ban on smoking. This is what is instore for gunownership in the future.
