Meh, this "ardent gunner" doesn't worry much about the second amendment. I do worry, however, that legislation both proposed and passed in past do not and -did not- effect the problem they seek to address, that they would merely make me and those like me criminals by fiat.
The numbers are here, in this thread, Brian. That they do not justify your comments or the actions you think we need to take doesn't change them. You either accept the stats and make a case based upon reality, or peddle fiction of varying degrees as solutions to an equally fictional problem. You and the people you oppose are bound at the hip, on this one. Your call. It doesn't seem, to me, like using gun death or tragedy as a springboard to stump against the evils of Corporate Empire is taking gun death or tragedy very seriously.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
