I feel the same way...
I've never owned a gun. I'm not a gun guy, or a even a hunter. But I find the notion of making guns illeagal to the general population is somehow going to make the place safer to be illogical... And there is no question in my mind that those who encourage people to adopt that idea as valid have sinister alterior motivation. Tin-Foil hat accusations aside, Communism is a REAL, documented, conspiracy, and has been continuously at work in our country's political, entertainment, and educational systems since long before I was born... As the Constitution states, the right to keep and bear arms is "necessary to the security of a free State"... And it IS a priority of Communist Art of War style strategy, to eliminate that right from our nation. All the illogical arguments by the gun-ban croud are the result of that conspiracy. I find it disturbing that the Bush administration ever even hinted that they supported such anti-American legislation. Maybe it was simply political dishonesty, or maybe a lapse of reason... I hope so. Regardless, I HOPE they WILL reverse the trend, even if it's just from political pressure. But as you say, I'll belive it when I see it.
