For some reason we the US seem to think we NEED to have them more than any other industrialized nation in the world. Yet we the US have BY FAR the highest death rates by handguns in the world...Doesn't anybody see the correlation? If the police weren't such chicken ****************s and giving parking tickets and busting potheads, maybe they would have more time to go after people who had them if the law existed.....Maybe if the NRA didn't have their hands in the politicians pockets we could do something about this. But our country has been too busy telling other countries how to live, when we can't even clean up our own mess....
What you said is exactly what I am trying to say with my poor english.

I also want a hug!

It's been fun and some valid views have been expressed by both Sides. Hopefully everyone will take something positive away with them...

I think it says quite a bit that, while we have people on here with such different views on a volatile subject like this, it can be discussed in such a civil manner.

There was no harm, no foul, and we're all maybe a little better for it.

It is nice to see everyone holding hands again. My boss will be happy that I will finally be able to get some work done this week.
