With 750 million firearms -- three quarters of a billion guns -- of modern design in working condition already in private hands in America today,...

Any idea where he came up with this number? It suggests 2-3 weapons for every man, woman and child in the country.

The most common number I've seen is roughly a third of that.

I repeat, there wasn't any drug problem -- until your fellow voters, the bureaucrats, and the politicians created a drug problem.

And they manage to make it worse every single year.

L. Neil is still my Number 1 favorite Author.

The whole "prohibition" mindset can also be applied to the "war on guns", the "war on religion", the "war on free speech", or any other cause de jure the Nanny State masses wanna see restricted, banned, or even just demonized...
