And I never said I liked the study. For the record, I will take that in exchange for the ban on gun lawsuits. Same with the trigger locks(unless the CPSC clause is there - that's a dealbreaker).

You are not in a position to bargain away the rights of others. That's been tried before in this country, by those who wished to remain loyal to the King of England. They were called Tories.

They were not treated well or with fondness by their fellows afterward; many were simply hanged, others found it necessary to flee the country to go live with their Britsh lords and allies. Colonel Ben Cleveland of the Carolinas was particularly noted for his successes in that respect, and is named by historians as the probable recordholder of those who dealt with such contemptable creatures who had tried to barter away the rights of others. Take care you do not also end up in the history books as one who was so contemptable; if you will not support the rights of other free Ameriucans, get out with your life while you can.

Somehow I got misattributed as saying what you replied to. I think you may have copied whoever it was that I was replying to?
