I say that both of you are using old, old, OLD, repeated arguements only because
you are probably not insightful or creative or unbiased enough to realize that the problem
goes beyond the arguements of:

	"Guns don't kill people, people do"

	or

	"waiting periods save lives"

Nobody will ever change their mind if their mind is set in advance, 
like it seems everyone's is in this thread.  Argueing about it won't work.
