What rabid anti-gun folks don't quite comprehend is that homicidal
intent is not weapon dependent. I had to wait to get my Concealed
Carry Permit or alternatively, I would have to wait to get a gun. That
wouldn't help much if I had a festering homicidal intent.

If I were committed to the task... as it appears, other folks,
deprived of guns, and committed to the task seek other tools of the
trade....

And, yes, thank you, NRA.... I support you and your efforts to uphold
the American Constitution and the rights granted to us to hold and use
firearms....

Please seek understanding in the truism that, "When guns are outlawed,
only outlaws will own guns...."

But there is also the truism that a great majority of gun crimes were
commited by criminals that got their guns from a legal, law abiding
owner in some fashion or another, be it theft, or whatever.
