This is like letting Apaches raid your homesteads and doing nothing about it.
It makes me ill, I cannot explain it.
Further evidence of the Balkanization of the country, diversity is wonderful!
BTW - The gov't effectively banned gun ownership to protect the people.
The people said "Hurrah! This will save us."
The day after the gun ban went into effect, a street robbery occurred two blocks from my office.
The crim used a barbeque fork as a weapon.
I thought this was hysterically funny.
The irony was lost on my peers.
