Tim, what does it matter? Gun control is a societal issue that effects everyone. Stock investments and 401s that only effect a certain group of people and is a bit more complicated. The fact that stock investments only effect a few people helps strengthen my argument. Those few people should have been paying attention, many of them where but they where still "flim flammed" in the ENE case. For those few or atleast the ones who made major ENE investments Enron was a more important issue for them then gun control. I didn't say that the ENE case and gun control effect the same number of people or are of the same level of importance, I just used ENE as an example of people getting "flim flammed". As for stock investment being more complicated then gun control, I'm not so sure. The very fact that gun control can effect so many people makes it more complicated. Many fields and areas touch on the issue or provide arguments for one side or the other, from constitutional law, to opinion polls, to crime statistics that can be interpreted in different ways, to sociology and psychology, to political philosophy to ballistics.
