To answer your question, Briman..... very simple. Just load the guns in your car.... drive into
any one of those cities you mentioned..... and sell the guns on the "black market". Having controls
in any/all of those cities does little or no good - if the rest of the country around them does not.
Your analogy about these cities partly proves my point.... thank you.
As for your second statement, when did I say that I wished to have gun ownership regulated
"down to a hobby" ?? I don't believe that I ever said that. All I have said (since it becomes
painfully obvious that you either can't or won't carefully read my posts) is that additional controls
MAY be necessary in order to affect a decrease in the quantity of guns in criminal hands. There,
I've said it again. Plainly. Did you get that ?
You certainly may not agree, which is your right. (Great how we have a free country, so that
we can disagree, isn't it ?) By the way, thanks for the advice about moving to "somewhere like
the UK or Australia". But no, I think I'll stay. You see, this is my country, TOO. So, I think that
I'll stay and continue to try to make things better, for us all.
Your comment regarding "assault rifles" is interesting. So, you'll be the first in line at your local
gun shop (when the government bans them)? Well, good for you. I don't need to do that. I
already have the ones that I want, you see. This reaction of yours (including the obvious anger you project at me) creates the impression that you ARE planning for the "great survivalist war" .... or Helter Skelter, or Armageddon... (or whatever you choose to call it). A very responsible
attitude, I must say. My desire is to PREVENT such a calamity. It appears that, you are LOOKING
FORWARD TO IT. Hmm, kind of an interesting.... I wonder which of us REALLY has the best
interests of this nation at heart?
Finally, I will say that, though it has been great fun "calmly" discussing these issues with you
and driftrider, I think that now is the time to agree to disagree. You (and others) are obviously
bothered immensely (perhaps, even frightened) by the MERE MENTION of gun control. This
certainly, was not my original intent. Do calm down, remember this is not good for your blood pressure. I wonder, at this point, if it is even possible to have a civil discussion of these matters, with you or others. I have my doubts. In any case, I shall now move on to other matters. I consider this particular thread closed.
Have a nice day.
