If you can step outside of simple-minded tunnel vision for two seconds, nobody, at least not me, wants to take your guns. I just want them to be harder to get. Law-abiding sane citizens like yourself can fill their homes to the ceilings with guns for all I care; I just don't want them to be routinely and easily available to young people or criminals, particularly demonstrated ones. If you're truly not willing to change your lifestyle just a little bit to even slightly increase another parent's chances of getting their kid home at the end of the school day, then I hope I am one of the half of your friends with whom you have no common ground. One of you needs to learn a little history, and the other should be a little more cautious about twisting it to their own purposes like some kind of Limbaugh/Liddy robot. If your cajones are still intact, check the "Hesitatingly, GUNS again" thread and answer my question. What if it was the school your children attend. Do you give a damn about anyone else?

Angrily, Chet W.
