Keep in mind people, I'm not the enemy here. I think the people of Colorado are nuts if they allow this stuff to happen, but they've been a bunch of whacko liberals for many years. You'd never see me moving to that state. I rarely even visit there in my travels around the west. And, I think Karen is a valued member of the pro-gun club. I was simply trying to make the point that we need to maintain our credibility on the gun issues. That means sticking to the facts. Our greatest protection against gun control will be the court of public opinion. The Constitution only protects us as long as the people want it to. Once the people no longer care, it's over. Our position needs to be firm, strong, and truthful. And, I hope people , and businesses, will vote with their feet. Take your money, jobs, etc, and get out of the states that suppress your rights.

As a matter of fact, few are committed with rifles. There were rifles used in some recent, infamous crimes but, if you look at numbers, most are committed with handguns by "youths" that can't legally get a firearm in the first place. Cracking down on gang violence in NYC with the "stop and frisk" tactic is what worked for them, not outlawing guns. If we would keep our scum in prison where they belong instead of allowing the tree-hugging parole boards to let them go free on a "hope" that they don't commit more crimes would help.
