People this isn't hard…

The # of firearms per capita seems near miraculous in light of these procedures. I would have expected it to cost more, too, if two police have to do interviews.

What I took from this is that EnZeds really, REALLY want to own guns. They want to own them so much that they're willing to do what they're required to do to get - and more importantly - keep them.

As for the low cost, *shrug* taxes are moderate and we get good value for our money.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Small. But what makes the headlines and get everyone stirred up?

I've never thought that developing policy by following headlines was a sound practice.

It's not. But the headlines seem to generate the most action and play to emotions. If you don't think so, why did the president and every major news source feel the need to address mass shootings? That's when the US gun policy gets the most discussion. If you don't include the mental health aspect in an over all gun ownership policy you'll see less support.

Yeah, I wasn't saying I think they don't play a role, just pointing out that pandering to them is not a good idea, what with the Law of Unintended Consequences and all.
