Must disagree there. Politicians have always preferred un-armed peasants.
Compare gun deaths to auto and plane deaths and you tell me what's more dangerous.
1. How many guns were involved in 9-11. No guns used and it shut our entire country down in the blink of an eye.
2. How many in the OKC bombing? Fertizilzer, diesel fuel and a rental truck. No guns used for mass casualties.

Many here have issues with "assault rifles" like the one I own. You say they carry too many rounds and I shouldn't be able to own one. They serve no purpose... etc, etc. Let me ask all the anti gunners out there that have sports cars such as the Corvette (I'll call that a sports car for arguments sake only).
Why do you own a car that's capable of 3 times the national speed limit? Shouldn't you be crushing them all and buying a Smart car?
The US does not have a gun problem, we have mental problems. The same govt you want (and feel comfy with) controlling guns is the same govt that failed over 40 TIMES stopping that nut case is South Florida.
If that isn't a case to own a gun I don't know what is. Remember. When seconds count, the "first responders" will be there in minutes. Hope you all feel safe.
