Hopefully? And if he ends up murdering someone, let's say a family member of yours, what then?
Then he'd better hope I'm not around with one of my guns. I assume the main responsibility to protect myself, my family and my possessions. I don't look to the nanny state for security, the government isn't so good at providing security without the help of a police state.
Would you trade my liberty in the hope of protecting your wife and kids? Would you trade the liberty of 300 million people for this false sense of security?
My life and the life of my family members isn't worth taking away the liberty of millions of Americans. That's one of the major problems with this country, the focus is so conceited and myopic that we forget Liberty and Freedom come at a price. That's why we can't stand to see our soldiers suffer even a few thousand casualties and tie thier hands to prevent collateral damage while prosecuting a "War on Terror".
