What Libresco did conclude, was that a host of societal issues are driving much of what we hear about in terms of so-called gun violence. Mental illness, suicide, gang violence, and domestic violence are all important factors that drive gun violence. The problem, Libresco admits, is that simply prohibiting certain types of guns doesn't really address these issues.

Nor is there the slightest intent of gun control advocates to address these issues. The goal of every anti-gunner to quote the late and unlamented former mayor of Atlanta, Maynard Jackson - a member of the board of directors of Handgun Control Inc, "We want a country where only the military and police are armed."

Anti-gunners cannot be bargained with, and they cannot be reasoned with. They never give up and they're never satisfied. They will only rest when every last gun and every last bullet is confiscated* from the citizenry and we live in a police state that would make North Korea or Stalin's Russia look like bastions of freedom. (Or alternatively enough of them and their jackbooted thugs collect bullets in a way that they didn't intend.)

*I can never understand why when some private individual steals something from you it's called "theft," but when a government performs exactly the same action it's called "confiscation."

"We want a country where only the military and police are armed."

I saw a movie about that. It was called "Schindler's List."

No fanatic can be reasonable. Of any ilk. Fags. Druggies. Commies. Etc. They're committed verging on insanity. Actually, any of the above issues involving liberals already cross the line into insanity.

Our problem is that insanity is celebrated in this country. We even elect them to office and let them make decisions on our behalf.
