...it's like the death tax. When ya die ya can't leave your guns to ya family cause ya can't run a background check on em.
...when I was in high school (late 50's early 60's) our school had a rifle team. Used live ammo. It was nothing at all for a kid to get a shotgun for christmas and bring it to school to show the principle. We have always had a lot of guns, but we have not always had a lot of killing. I think the first mass shooting I remember hearing about was that guy who went up the clock tower in Texas.
...dunno this to be a fact, but I have read that a fairly high percentage of the teen shooters are, or have been on ritalin or some other psychotropic drug.

Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!
