Sorry, Greg F, but you have it all wrong. I am a left wing union organizer. My politics in most every area are very much on the left side of the political spectrum. I was also the State Director of the Gore Campaign in the last Presidential election. I am not a Bubba, or a conservative. And I own guns. And I am VERY well trained. I shoot them for fun as well.

Get your facts straight folks. If you look at the relationship between violent crime and gun laws, you will find that in states where the gun laws are very strict, they have a much higher violent crime rate. Where the laws are less strict and law abiding citizens have the right to carry, the violent crime rate is much lower.

But this really comes down to this. Law abiding citizens have had a right to keep and bear arms of all sorts in this country since its inception. In order to take away that right from law abiding citizens, one should be able to produce factual information/data to support the reason it should be taken away. No one has done that yet. It is all emotion and no logic.

Instead of telling us your opinions on our right to bear arms, why don't you try giving me substantiated fact as to what you think the gain is. Let us debate facts instead of your emotional opinions.
