oh, LORD! "liberal" means, in this case, 'generous' and 'open'...not 'those favored by *gasp* LIBERALS'! The gun laws in the USA are, currently 'liberal'...which means, interestingly, approved by many 'conservatives'. It means, to me, that WAY too many people can own guns.

...and do not forget - many aspects of gun ownership ARE controlled by statute! Even in DC, there are many, many restrictions on who may own a gun, how it can be registered, where it must be kept, how it can be acquired...etc. All I want is a court ruling that tightens the statutes as much as possible.
