    Only morons believe the answer is to get rid of all guns. You might as well ask to get rid of cancer too.

      I never said get rid of all guns, I own 6 of them myself. But there is a wide gap between “free gun with every candybar, no limitations” and “ban all guns”.

          Well, glad to know you’re a master of subtly, nuance, and logic. Great productive conversation we’ve had.
