Well, now Arne and Don, seems like "reasonable* arguments for some *reasonable * changes in the manner in which guns are distributed to the populace are in most forums SHOUTED (excuse me) down. The lie told loud enough and often enough by folks mean enough by virtue of the number of guns they own *shouldn't* win over *reasonable* people with *reasonable* ideas.
Yeah, so what's wrong with knowing where the guns are? Hey, if you are a law abiding gun owner, what's the *big* fear. I would think that the governemnt would like to have guns in the hands of as many *law abiding* and *responsible* citizens as possible. Where I live in this holler in Wes Ginny, we don't have police. We also don't have crime. Why? We have a lot of responsible gun owners.
Lastly, one would think that the NRA would get with the program. They *could* be right in the middle of bringing a greater level of gun safety to the US thru legislation that wouyld keep guns out of the hands of nutballs plus thru gun safety programs. Unfortunatley, most parents won't send their kids to the NRA for gun safety courses because the NRA has taken a position that is so paranoid and extreme.
