If that's your idea of "sane", I'd rather be fucking nuts.

Outright bans on what KIND of firearms? Oh, let me guess: Evil-looking BLACK rifles with bayonet lugs, and flash hiders, and black nylon slings and 20-round clips, right?

More laws, that's you anti-gunner's answer to everything. Convicted felons carrying guns? why, there ought to be a LAW!

Funny thing, there's already plenty of laws. seems you can't legislate respect and compliance for the law. And the answer is *NOT* MORE laws.

What you people fail to get through your dense skulls is that more laws, background checks, sales limits, etc. does absolutely NOTHING to the criminal element's ability to acquire firearms. It only places an unreasonable burden on lawful gun owners.

And, if by some miracle you were able to rid this nation of private ownership of firearms, our criminals would just take a page from their British brethren and acquire baseball bats and knives.
