The gun control crowd gets traction every time that some dumbshit leaves a weapon lying around and a kid gets hurt, or a mentally impaired individual decides he wants his 15 minutes of fame and mows down innocent civilians. You don't see them raising millions to register knives, or baseball bats, do you?

It may not be fair, but it's true, and that's all the poll asked.

Of course, that's just MY opinion. I could be wrong...
