I don't like gun control, but the background checks are fine with me. If somebody just got out of jail for a violent crime... but that's another debate on whether that person has paid their debt to society and is now free. A parolee, on the other hand...

CCW permits are an interesting topic though. I have read a little on falling crime/ccw permits. It seems that ccw's were issued during a time of economic upswing, so it's not necessarily true that the ccw's caused the drop in crime. Maybe it was the economic upswing that did it. More study is warranted, that's for sure.

Banning the single-shot 50 cal's is kind of interesting, though. There has never been a crime committed with one of those, but there is talk of banning them. Why? I don't understand.
