I have no problem with rifles, especially assault rifles, since they're hard to conceal, and we're going to need 'em one day when the Government goes too far. I have no problem with handguns for responsible homeowners and businessmen protecting their own. I DO have a problem with these redneck gunshops selling pieces illegally to people who transport them up the "Iron Pipeline" of I-95 to New York and other cities, where they're sold to gangbangers and other criminals. Some say that more laws are the answer. Others say that stricter enforcement of existing laws is the answer. Personally I think that both are right. Obviously we need to amend the laws to prevent psychos like Cho from getting their hands on weapons. And clearly Gonzales and Co. are doing nothing to enforce the statutes already on the books. I don't own a gun. Never have. Never felt the need and never trusted myself with one. But I do recognize their necessity in our society, and feel that a total ban would be suicidal.
