<crosses fingers> Let's see if this one lasts longer than the one on that
other forum
I'm all for gun control. That is, the enforcement of current laws and the training of owners. Anything above that should not be allowed. Well, maybe slacking off on some of the laws in California and DC... they're just a little
too restrictive.

I'm not quite sure that you understand the amount of training (practice) one needs to have to safely and professionally handle a firearm. With a sword, you can just run around and start hacking away with minimal fear of hurting innocent bystanders. With a firearm, you need to make sure your aim is true, your target is correct, and anything beyond your target is not in danger - all in a split second.

Goons with guns: This is where the enforcement of current laws comes in. It is illegal for felons to own certain weapons as per law. This is where, as mentioned previously, the governmet needs to have a good reason to take away liberties. Criminals have proven unworthy of certain liberties in this case.
Guns are everywhere:
USPS regulations are rather strict on mailing firearms. It's generally regarded as a bad thing to do. You would also be hard-pressed to find a
firearm for sale on E-Bay (check under "Some Examples".
Doesn't seem to be anything wrong to me.

As I've said before, people should be allowed to have guns, but it should be DAMN sure that they are safe with it before they get it. |
The problem has been solved. Cho was treated as an outpatient, not committed. That was why nothing turned up on the check. This is probably something that should be investigated country-wide (the law).
