Subject: RE: BS: Virginia Tech Shooting, 20 dead?
Well, I was really hoping that the VT kids and professors who were killed would be buried before the gun debate entered at full throttle...

I have made no attempts to hide my feelings in past threads how I feel about handguns and will look forward to voicing those thoughts again when the ***timing*** is appropriate...

I remember after Columbine, Bill Clinton was asked why he hadn't propsed stronger handgun controls and he said, "Because the votes aren't there in Congress"...

Well, I don't know if the votes are there this time around but I certainly expect a vigorous debate not only among the population by also Congress over the next few months...

BTW, posting right wing, pro-gun, NRA cut 'n pastes is not a discussion... Discussions involve ***ideas*** and not endless propaganda collected by folks who profit financially from the proliferation of handguns...

Might of fact, discussion should rarely involve cut 'n pastes... Integrating research is one thing... Accepting reems and reems of propaganda as fact isn't research...

I'll be looking forward a real discusssion about handguns when the ***timing*** is more respectfull to those who have been killed...
