and here is the BUT
c) i fully support your RIGHT to own a gun and i am against gun control. really, pot is illegal, but its not hard to get. if someone wants a gun to commit a crime, the legality of guns will have no impact on their ability to aquire and use it.
d) i fully support the government creating strict and draconian PUNISHMENTS if your gun is used, on purpose or accidently, in a crime IF it is proven you did not properly store your gun and ammunition.
e) bullets should be taxed at a rate of about $10.00 per round. people would then think really hard about how many they keep in the house and in stock.

guns are a lot different than drugs. they're bulky, difficult to hide, set of metal detectors, and are a lot more expensive to make. controlling them would be a lot easier than trying to control the drug trade. doesn't Britain completely outlaw personal firearms? what is their gun related homicide rate compared to the US or Canada?
