Rodney, I totally agree with you that guns should not be a part of our lives anymore. I want very badly to believe that we can do something like ban guns, but I feel that it is realistic to believe that if guns are banned, criminals will still get them. Period. And okay, I'll concede and say that you are probably right and that having a gun for protection can lead you to getting shot by someone else more easily in some circumstances. Okay, so only cops and criminals will have the guns. There's a war on the streets that is going on now and always will be. And maybe the players in that war WILL start resorting to personal anti-tank missle launchers and flame throwers, who knows. Again, I want to agree with you, and think that kiddies will not have guns if they are banned, but then again there are others that can get guns no matter what.

Anthony, I agree with you when you say that the turds on the streets will still have guns if they are outlawed. I'm not sure if I even care if two drug dealers want to shoot each other. After, as a wise man once said about Tupac, "you act like a piece of garbage, you eventually wind up at the curb." My concern is that, as people are reliving the OK Coral, some little kid on his Big Wheel happens to go rolling by and gets ventilated. Unfortunately, we might be so far down the dark path (after all, once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny) that it will be too difficult to return. But I'm all for trying.
Cheers,
Rodney
