Ah- "if guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns". I have no idea how it can happen, but an attempt should be made.
We live in a country where our president's first concern, before trying to sooth the public, is to sooth the gun lobby. And I'd rant more in that direction, but figure I'm in the wrong part of the forum for that.
I got no answers. But the gun lobby is nearly as powerful as the baby Jesus is here in the USA, and it irritates me to no end.
