I read the proposed legislation by your politician Obama, and noted this comment on the site: "But, then again, gun control is not about crime control. It's about discouraging law abiding citizens from participating in the shooting sports."
Geez, I hate this kind of approach by gunowners. This is what helped us get where we are today, IMHO. 'Gun control' is not about "discouraging law abiding citizins from participating in the shooting sports"!!! IMHO, that is the most trivial logic. It is about stripping citizens of the right to self defense. It is about ignoring thousands of years of human history, not to mention the millions of people killed by governments in the 20th century. It is about the ancient philosophy of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The anti-self defense movement benefits when we trivialize our own rights in this manner, IMHO.
