I think this could be Hillary?

What a great idea! Ban guns and gun crime will dissapear, why didn't I think of this? The same thinking could work for illegal drugs. Ban the drugs, make it a crime to sell or possess the drugs, and the drug problem will go away. How wonderful. But wait, we have tried it and though it is hard to believe, criminals and drug users still buy and possess drugs. How could this be, there are laws against it? Unfortunately there are otherwise reasonable and somewhat intelligent people who really think that more gun control that restricts the gun rights of honest, law abiding citizens, is the answer to violent gun crime. Facts and logic play no role in their thinking, but emotional fear and revulsion at the reality of gun crime has them focusing on the gun rather than the criminal using the gun. I read these forums to remind myself that not everyone is an idiot when it comes to common sense about guns and the right of self defense, but as I get older I get more pessimistic about really reversing the increasingly hostile environment to guns. But maybe that's just because I am stuck in the Peoples Corrupt Republic of Illinois.

I couldn't resist and I ended up sending the owner of this site an email. I basically asked them how they intend to make this a reality. I'm currently awaiting a response, just to see what they say.... :D

Let us take a moment of silence... Before we start laughing hysterically!

"Fair" market value for an M1 is about $1K and even for a 91/30, I think fair compensation is $200 (for me anyways).

I can't see any politician willing to float a bill to spend billions for a gun buy back program like this. Now imagine the billions of pork that would get added to the bills that would cover everything from armored transports for the bought guns, new destruction facility, new roads to those facilities, and especially compensation for every guide, gunsmith, and sporting goods store that would lose a lifetime of money.

And we are called nuts.

All that means is that particular username was invalid. Check the spelling first. The domain is still active and is in fact registered until 2011. Registrar information hasn't been updated since 2004 but it's handled through a third party so the author's information is not available.

Also it could be a problem with your own mail servers. Give it another shot from a free email account like Yahoo or Gmail.
