Chet W. I agree with your analisis of the constitutional rights. I personaly own a gun, but it's a black powder muzzleloader. I don't want someone to take my gun away, but I also will take personal responsiblity for it. I am in favor of gun control. I don't care if I have to wait to purchace a gun, or if they do background checks to get one. I don't think any one who is responsible cares. There are some serious problems with gun show sales, who will sell anything to anyone regardless of age for cash. I want those people who victomize others with there errisponsable acts stopped. I also see no purpos for automatic anything. you don't hunt with an a k 47. And any parent or adult who puts a wepon in a childs hands without supervision should be held accountable. How can a parent not know if a son or daughter has a gun, unless they pay no attention to the child. If my kid wanted to belong to a group known as the black trench coat gang, that would be a flag to me saying I'm not carring enough about my kids, and I need to get involved with their lives. I to feel the freedom given to us by the constitution, comes with a price. I don't belong to the NRA, but I do belong to the National Muzzel loaders.

What am I doing to solve the problem, I am loving my kids enough to spend time in their lives, And last year our group brought four hundred grade school kids to a rendezvous to see and hear the guns shoot. We also teach a gun safety class, and we teach each day to have respect for each other and others property.

I was sick at the sight of what is happening to our kids. They are crying out for parents to help them, and we are too busy makeing money. I personaly will be a paulper before my kids grow up alone.
