>>>This is not an abstract debate about the 2nd amendment. And I will not debate it on those terms with you any more. This is a real person. It's a 15 year old girl shot dead by a gun. By all indications she was a terrific young person who is dead for no other reason than that a stray gunshot killed her. She and two friends were riding out a rainstorm when one of the bullets hit her. She was not a gangbanger. She didn't do anything to anyone. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time when rival gangbangers started blasting back and forth. And so another 15 year old with great potential is lost. You bet I'm mad.

>>It is amazing to me how criminals, thugs, gang members, and the mentally ill have complete power to overturn the 2nd Amendment. Do you really believe that if all weapons, and I mean all, are outlawed that "gangbangers" won't have them or have access to them?

Be careful what you wish for; it could hurt Canadian economy <g>. The very first gun I bought is made in Canada.
