Keep an eye on tomorrow's Million Mother March. Angry moms have done much before, e.g. MADD. Keep an eye on it. Nothing will be solved on this forum and I really hate even joining it. But I did want to thank LEJ for his reasoned argument. And Spaw for the hilarious link! Maybe THAT'S the best part of this thread. And Shep, I agree with your thoughts. If our forefathers had forseen this mess, they surely would have done something different. Especially since their idea of "arms" was muzzle-loaders and tomahawks. Even semi-automatic weapons must have been a dream. Spaw- while I like your "Law" for the most part, I feel it is indeed too restrictive, although I could live with it. Without getting into the morality of hunting, it is legal here in the US. Some folks hunt both ducks and deer, each requiring a different type of firearm. So I would revise your numbers upward, and keep the rest intact. BlueJay
