I have a completely different take on guns. I've had a gun bulletin board for 11 years, and have thought long and hard about gun control. Here is our problem, and it is a no win situation: Whatever weapons we have access to, bad guys will have access to also. How much firepower is enough? I like flintlocks and cowboy guns. If I had access to grenades and RPGs, so would the bad guys. How much firepower are you happy with bad guys being able to obtain? Modern guns and ammunition just get more and more deadly. I have a SKS with 40 round clips. I won't kill people, but a bad guy can buy what I'm buying too. Where is the middle ground that the public will accept, without infringing on 2nd Ammendment rights? I don't have the answer.
