Oh...BTW..

"...why I keep pointing out when someone makes false statements regarding guns or gun laws."

It's nice to keep the details straight, but let's not pretend that strict adherence to precise legal definitions are a defense against the argument that there are guns being sold that are WAY more than 'sportsmen'...etc. need, and that modifying 'legal' guns to illegal configurations is way to easy.

Telling us for the 37th time that we 'have' laws against doing certain things is not nearly enough.

You, Bruce, certainly know there are laws against jaywalking. And you certainly know the area on Viers Mill between Wheaton Plaza and the Metro station...right under the pedestrian bridge. The jaywalking laws were consistently ignored, with people crossing 6 lanes of high volume traffic...even in rush hour. The solution? That 7 ft. high steel fence that runs for a block. On Connecticut Ave. at Howard, just North of Knowles, right in front of the Safeway, it has been illegal for years to make a left turn or go straight across from either direction. Leaving the Safeway, there were 6 signs saying "RIGHT TURN ONLY"... they were ignored by folks who considered it just 'inconvenient'. They finally put up those plastic posts making ONLY left turns into Howard possible.

Sometimes it takes extraordinary measures to get people to pay any attention at all to the 'law'.

Now, when *I* am in charge, the gun 'laws' will not only be designed to be fair, but will have 7 ft. high barriers to supplement the "right turn only" sighs.
