Yeah, Bobert, I was once a member. I resigned in disgust over the "cop killer" bullet issue. Between that and the assumption on my politics based on gun ownership, when exactly the opposite is true. My politics are now, and always have been, left of center on virtually every issue with the exception of gun control.

One of the things I hate is when the parties to this debate use single incidents to try and prove the predicate. We have an example going on right now, in North Carolina I believe. A neighbor caught a 3 year old on tape playing with a long barrelled revolver. His parents were away from the weapons checking a target. They were also drinking beer. While I don't know all the details, from what I have seen these parents are idiots. If all bears out as it appears, it is my opinion that both need to be in jail. Further, it should be a long time, with a very heavy burden of proof, before they should get their children back.

But, it is one incident, and the likely fact is that these folks probably have many other unsafe conditions around. About all these types of incidents prove is that some folks are not fit parents.
