Fifty years ago gun laws in this country were nearly nonexistent. You could buy rifles and even 20mm antitank rifles through magazine ads and over the phone. Yet we didn't see 1/20 of the lunatic violence seen today. I'd like to hear an explanation form Ms McCarthy as to why this is so.

The answer is that you can almost chart the rise in gun violence by the rise in gun laws. That is the only statistical correlation that directly relates gun violence to time. By that standard, we ought to repeal damn near every gun law on the books; that way, crime should drop to near zero.

Fifty years ago, the people were BUILDING the 10-Commandments monuments in civic plazas which are now being removed as fast as possible by the ACLU.

THere's ONE reason...
