Hurray!!!!
Not that I'm a manic gun collector or anything - but... I do have a thing about Big Brother passing laws that only harm the people willing to obey them, and do nothing to stop the people who are more than willing to break them. If gun control worked, the police wouldn't have to be ever up-grading their own weapons to match the firepower of the bad guys, right? Because the bad guys are still getting the weapons that are banned. Someone breaks into my house, what am I supposed to do - point my finger and yell, "BANG!"? Right...
