[quote=CONCHO][quote=briansd1]How about asking if we would be safer if nobody was armed?

Yes, we would be safer, IMO.[/quote]

I agree 100% Brian. Fortunately we can go to Mexico to experience life in a place where firearms are illegal. I am so frightened from this horror in Tucson that I am fleeing to the safety of Tijuana. Guns are illegal there so I won’t have to worry about a crazed psychotic shooting me at the Safeway. The next time I will post it will be en Español. Vaya con Dios, Amigos![/quote]

How about instead of fighting over whether guns should be legal or illegal we should ask ourselves

(1) Why is it so hard to track guns and Ammo?
(2) Why is there no electronic national gun database to track guns used in crimes?
(3) Why do we need to keep semi-automatic weapons freely accessible? what rational purpose does an AK-47 serve in our society? (and please don’t tell me BS about private militias – govt. has tanks for yout puny AK-47s.)
