And Cat, get off of the holier-than-thou, criminals are not people ivory tower. Any of us might, under the right (not necessarily conservative) circumstances, go astray. We have seen what can happen when good people (especially in a bad economy) lose their jobs or homes or get divorced. “There, but for the grace” – you know the rest. Even children, influenced by the slightest perceived offense, can kill dozens with rapid- fire weapons and magazines – that they would not be able to kill, or to even try to kill – without them.

It sounds also, that you would like to do away with our military and police. Who then, will protect our interests – you, the NRA? We all needed a good laugh, thanks!
