bruce! I said I advocate changes! How is that claiming "the problem will be solved."?

"The Bill Of Rights is not something that should be ignored"...again...STRAW MAN... I am not ignoring it, I am upset at its ambiguity and its lack or relevance to modern society, and I explained why! You seem to thing that posting the 2nd amendment over & over will MAKE it clear & relevant. I disagree that it should be a given that anyone who is not a convicted felon should be allowed to possess most of the weapons under question. I believe that **IF** there were many fewer guns in private hands, and if those that were, were smaller and not semi-automatic, that there would be FAR fewer firearms used in crimes.

THAT point may be debated & discussed...but I will not sit still for Gerrymandered data and technical points about weapons design to be used to 'prove' something that I didn't say.

for the last time, THIS sort of remark:

"So, IF I were to say "I HAVE said that Free Speech advocates have had the laws their way for a long time, and I don't like the results... and it's time to see if stronger, ENFORCED restrictions will help."

will be answered with pretty strong language. It is NOT relevant to the topic, and it is NOT something I would have said, and it is NOT a proper refutation of anything!
