I sense that you identify with the gun control advocates. Message 23465488 So which side of the gun control equation did you think was the loudest in reaction to yesterday's events at VT? I'm also a little curious about where you come down on the NSA and telephone monitoring issue, for example. Is that an area where "...our laws have to balance individual rights against public interest"? If so, why would people come down on the side of stopping the monitoring when the reality is the ordinary citizen would be basically unaffected? Personally, I find it amusing that many people who get so exercised about the Patriot Act and NSA issues are so laid back about the notion of increasing gun control. I shouldn't even say laid back. They're strongly in favor of control. Is it that people just like some rights better than others?
