I would LOVE it if good sense entered into it. I'm not against guns per se (and I too don't want a debate) but the fact is Joe Schmoe With Nothing To Know can get his hands on just about anything, at the local big box store) but I don't think they should be as available as a new beach towel or a 24 pack of toilet paper.

When one implies, one makes an imp out of lies, or something.
