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.
The problem Gene is that there are so many ****ing weapons on the
street that your truism may have validity.
If we hadn't let the cat out of the bag and had exercised a little
better foresight, there wouldn't be a profusion of easily obtainable
weapons...
Second amendment is not meant to make certain the entire ****ing
country is armed.
Have you visited a trauma ward recently? I have a friend who works in
the local ward. It's filled with shooting victims and the occasional
idiot who's cramed his head into a sidewalk from a motorcycle.
In Virginia and some other states, there's no waiting period and no
paperwork. You simply go to a gun show and find a private seller.
There's the ones at the show doing sales out of the trunks of their
cars. Perfectly legal in Virginia.
