: Its me again, And about time! You don't write, you don't call...
: i'm sure ur happy to see me MDG. Sorry i haven't posted anything in a long time but i have been busy with school. In fact i have 2 tests tomorow so i'll keep it short.
Don't be a fool, stay in school!
: All i want to know is what do you expect to gain from gun control???
Fewer handgun deaths. A safer society.
:The only thing gun control is going to do is make it harder for hunters like me to buy leagal guns.
Do you hunt with handguns? That's what I want to see controlled. Not many robbers surprise their victims by pulling rifles out of their pockets. Not many postal workers sneak into work with a rifle tucked into their brown bag lunch. Handguns are easily concealable, that's what makes them so dangerous.
:Criminals are still going to be able to buy illeagal just as easily as before. so what is the point of gun control???
No, it won't be as easy. Right now criminals (or their fronts) can buy guns in stores and shows and from private citizens; the more avenues of guns you cut off, the harder it is for the bad guys to get guns. I would remind you that it's not only criminals I'm concerned about. It's the pissed off guy in the car -- the fine upstanding citizen -- who shoots you because you're going to slow. It's the nervous woman who blasts you because you approach her asking for directions to the library. It's the kid who takes his daddy's gun and peers down the barrel to see what's inside, or takes it to school to show off. It's the father who shoots his son dead because the kid came home late and sneaked in rather than waking up his parents.
:Who are you trying to control??? Criminals or law abiding citizens like me???
I'm trying to prevent criminals from being easily armed, and law abiding citizens like you from making an angry or reckless mistake in the blink of an eye and becoming...a criminal.
