204. Heh.
I lived in Richmond, VA, and Washington DC. It's strange....even with DC's draconian gun control laws, which effectively disarmed the people who obeyed the law, any criminal who wanted a gun seemed able to get one. It's kind of strange how that works....the only people the law affects are people who obey the law.

"The laws I support would help limit the flow of guns into these neighborhoods. They give honest citizens a fighting chance against the drug dealers and the gangbangers."

Horseshit. For some unknown reason, drug dealers and gangbangers have no trouble getting whatever the hell they want. It probably has something to do with the fact that they already work in the black market. All that gun control laws do is disarm the people who obey the law.

"And this is also why most cops support gun control."

How long did you work as a cop? Because my experience has been that most rank and file cops (including myself at one point) do NOT support gun control.

As for the Democrat winning blue states, forgive me if I'm not as up on current events as I should be, but didn't we win the Blue States in 2000 and 2004? So why aren't Gore and Kerry in the White House? Oh, yeah....because winning the Blue States alone isn't enough.
