Reply #2: It is very sad that our leaders have learned nothing in all that time

[jmg257]

about the ineffectiveness of gun bans; hmmmm...but maybe it depends on what the aims are? While ineffective against crime, bans HAVE been very effective at keeping poorer folks from legally owning handguns, another infringement on constitutionaly protected rights of the people, another way of separating the rich elites from the common folks, good for leaving way too many people to be helplesss victims, a big help towards assuring future tyrants will go unchallenged.

Maybe next time they will learn? We will see where 1022 goes, and MAYBE, finally someone will be listening if it is shot down completely - as it should be. The truth is out there, plenty of facts for all to see. There has to be a reason why they ignore them; I don't get it (???) It's an issue now, and it will be one in 2008, the inetrnet keeps all the gunners informed "instantly" of what's what and whose who.
