I agree, but they should be able to implement some sort of system to
weed out at least some of the bad seeds; I mean how many normal, average
American citizens go out one day, buy a gun, and then just for the hell
of it, blow someone away?  If someone that has a criminal record goes
into buy a gun, they should not be allowed to buy a gun.  Why?  Because 
they have already deemed themselves incapable of handling the responsibility
of owning a firearm.  They should be immediately denied.  "OH, but they
have rights too!"  Bull, they gave up that right when they decided
to break the law.  


>You don't belive change is needed with respect to guns.  Others do.

Bull crap!  That was not the point of my comments!  I believe that 
"change" is needed, but not the removal of our rights to own and/or
carry firearms.

That's the problem with this whole discussion; most gun owners I know
don't mind the waiting periods, etc. to get our guns.  We may not like
it, but it's a "necessary evil", so to speak.  The only way you people
will be happy is to remove them all from the face of the earth, thereby
not allowing anyone to own them.  Therefore, no one is protected ...
and criminals will always find ways to harm/kill others.

So therefore, the only way to rid ourselves of the problems would be ...
RID OURSELVES OF THE CRIMINALS!!!

Improve?  I guess that's why we have the most impotent judicial
system in the world.
