If you do away with firearms, people will do whatever it takes to get one.
Sure, its very difficult for a loon, hell, even a regular Joe like you and I (Or Jane for that matter.
) to obtain one legally. But, if you want one after sharp sticks are outlawed, pay a visit to that nice Chinese man on the corner and pay 1/3 less. Mention me and get 30% off!
I dont see how gun control will work, and probably never will. I feel any citizen that hasnt been convicted of a crime should be allowed to own any firearm he or she wishes after taking a very through training course and qualifying at an adequte(sp?) level with it. Then, and only then, will that person be issued their weapon.
