191. And the most powerful gun lobbies & conservatives in the USA support NONE of those things, do they?
Edited on Wed Apr-08-09 05:46 PM by Dr Fate
Don't ask me to look to those things- ask the NRA and the other conservative multi-million dollar groups who fight gun regulation to start pumping millions into fighting for those things. LOL- good luck.

You put us in a difficult position - you ask us to agree with the NRA, a group who has the money power to keep guns from being regulated- yet there is no group with equal power, money and influence that can fight for the counterbalances you propose. In the end, we would get one but not the other or both.

You make a good point though- if the gun absolutists spent as much time fighting for some counterbalances, there would be less problems with gun violence.
