again... there are 75,000,000 people in the U.S. that will admit to being gun owners...  this in spite of the government telling us how evil firearms ownership is and putting more and more restrictions on them every day...

the restrictions and the lying about how gun laws have made us all safe from the bad guys may slow the growth of the amount of legal and admitted gun owners but....  

none of the laws or rhetoric hold up or stop people from buying guns when they see that the government and police really can't do what they claim and make you safe.  every disaster or riot makes the case for gun control weaker on a personal level for people...  

even the staunchest supporters of gun control think it is something that they want for...... everyone else.

I can hear it now...

If the guns store in New Orleans had been banned in the firt place the looters would have only stolen plasma-TVs not firearms. I'm sure the gangsters were completely unarmed until then and all the shooting took place only after the gun stores were ransacked. See the looters are actually just victims of the NRA!

Law enforcement providing all the protection you need.

"There will be, I suspect, a curious silence on the subjects of:
* Law enforcement providing all the protection you need.
* The number of non-firearm related attacks/muggings."

I'll hang with all Police officers on the range.  

A felony is a felony (armed or not armed).

I'll bet it left a mark.  I've had one since 1998 it's easily my favorite shotgun for results but the one I shoot the least.
