Eric:

It's just like most gun control proposals. They aim to punish or restrict
the availability of firearms to honest citizens like me. All because of the
misuse of firearms by a very small segment of our society. One thing both
pro and anti gun groups agree on, is that there are millions of them out
there in U.S. society. But only a tiny, tiny fraction of a percent are ever
misused to harm or intimidate someone by a tiny, tiny fraction of the
overall population of gun owners. So, if you take them away from every one
in response to the actions of that tiny minority, you are punishing
everyone for the actions of a few.

I own guns. I'm not a criminal. I don't misuse the weapons I own, never
have, never will. Heck, I've never even pointed a weapon at another person.
Leave me alone. Go punish those who are unfit to own or posess a firearm.
(Make the "big mouth" run laps during class. I was paying attention. Why do
I have to run laps?)
