Mr. Smith, have you ever read Senate bill #s.1431?  John Kerry is a 
co-sponsor of it.  I assume that either you have never read this bill, 
or you haven't read the second amendment, because the two documents 
could not be more diametrically opposed. I don't remember seeing the 
phrase "unless they are not suitable for sporting purposes" in my copy 
of the Bill of Rights.
