Prohibiting a populace from something they clearly want, simply to enforce some twisted notion of morality set forth by a minority will not work. All it does is criminalize normal people.

I think the point is that the clearly unintended consequences of disarming law abiding citizens will not stop the criminals or the criminally insane, and may, indeed, provide them with a clear killing field in many instances, by removing the protection offered by law abiding gun owners. Gun free zones are wide open to criminals, and only give a false feeling of safety that in reality makes the innocent all the more vulnerable.

I know Gary doesn't get it.

Gary gets it...Gary just needs some way to slam Americans is all. Which makes me wonder, that since he isn't a citizen of our fair country, why he insists on living here when we're just so...appalling to him on every level.

Actually I do get it. And so does the rest of the western world, who live at peace without the wild west mentality of narrow minded people such as yourself

Apparently you don't have much experience about life in the big wide world outside of the US, and until that changes you'll just have to carry on drinking the Kool Aide and being wrong!

I run my own business Ali-May, and I enjoy living here in sunny California.

The more I hear from people like you the more I realise I have an important mission to accomplish here in the colonies
