Well I can't argue for anything that makes 10,000 deaths per year a reasonable cost. You're kind of leading the jury in this debate here aren't you?
Quick without googling do you know why the 2nd Amendment was put into the Bill of Rights? No you probably don't.
That would be my only other argument. It's probably a weak one in your eyes and that is fine but that means a lot to me and many Americans. I do agree something should be done but you can't just take away all guns.
As I said in my other post , I am not against Gun Control, I don't like the loss of innocent life anymore than any of you guys. I do think bringing up the 9/11 attack and the ensuing events is not in good taste here. I don't think they have anything to do with this argument. It's a whole 'nother can of worms.
Duff, It seems as if your blaming me for the gun laws? I am not saying we shouldn't do anything. I am in favor of a measure of control that would limit this kind of thing. I was simply asking what would you do and weighing the response on how I think it would be entertained here.
