Well, LH, that is the point... There is not a black or white manner in which to interpret the 2nd ammendment... As a gun control advocate I can live with that as a starting point of the discussion... I think most pro gun control folks can, as well...

But what we get from the other side is dogmatism... They wnat it 100% their way... Not 99% but 100%... This is where the problem is... The right wing is so used to getting everything they want that this is the only way to play the game... Hey, I'm not making a knee-jerk reaction but an observation... I resent being called a knee-jerker as do most folks who would like to see some sane restrictions on gun ownership...

I just don't buy the both sides scenerio as if there is that much complete stubborness or dogma on our side... I believe that we are reasonable people for the most part... It's the NRA suppporters who are 100% knee jerk and unreasonable... No make that 110% fir good measure...
