Gary, a person who has never been a poacher can become one in a hurry if firepower meets opportunity. If you think every hunter in this entire country was blessed with copious amounts of self-restraint, then you have more faith in your fellow hunter than I do. I have no faith in people anymore. I wouldn't trust my fellow hunters any further than I could throw them.


I'm not a drunk driver, but I'm happy that we have laws protecting us against drunk drivers.
I don't cheat on my taxes, but I'm happy that we have laws in place to protect us from those who do.
I'm not a drug addict, but I'm happy that thereis alegal framework in place, helping keep drugs off the streets.
I'm not a delinquent dad, but I'm happy that there are built-in legal assurances that they comply with their support duties.

If everybody in this country puked sunshine and crapped rainbows, we wouldn't need laws to control people. They would know how to act. Unfortunately, you can't let the inmates run the institution - and protect the innocent man from those will ill-intentions.

Hey man, the results of this poll don't lie.We clearly have a huge majority that draws the line "somewhere." While theplacement of that line variesfrom voter-to-voter, it's easy to see the pattern.

Obviously, I'm not the only one who doesn't think it's a great idea toencourage people to take guns into the bow stand. Not rocket science here. Just common sense.
