50. Well, here's the thing that puzzles me...
I hear so often from folks on the "left" that the "right" is going to take down the country, usurp Constitutional protections (all of them), institutionalize the unitary presidency, break-up labor actions, force their agenda into our public schools, open the country to wide-open pollution, investigate and imprison those who object... and after all that, some of these same folks say:

"Oh, let's ban guns."

It's like turning the channel on your T.V. when you get tired of the program. Do "lefties" like this really believe what they say, or is it just another coffee house rant? If so, they wouldn't be for a gun ban.
