#2. I am not sure why people think our nation would turn into China, Iran, Cuba, etc. without guns. The idea that Clinton, Bush and other politicians are just waiting for the opportunity to storm the Jedi Temple and kill all the younglings is a little far-fetched and paranoid IMO. That notion is about 1mm from the extremist conspiracy plot that the UN is secretly planning to invade the US. I simply don't buy the notion that several fat guys who play war on the weekends in funny clothes are the linchpin of our democracy and, without them, the evil government would turn us into Nazi Germany.

#3. I still have yet to hear anyone quibble with my basic premise that getting rid of all guns would be good. The only thing I hear people say is that you cannot get rid of all guns. And, as I previously mentioned, I think it would not be as difficult to get rid of the vast majority of guns as people think.
Maybe when you figure out how to get rid of drugs first, people will listen to your theory about getting rid of guns, let me ask you, how would you plan to get rid of all these guns? Are you just going to tell people to do it? Or are you going to force them to do it? And if it's the later by what means would you force them??????????
