Others gain what we might begin to lose ?
 

I find that it is incredible that every knee jerk reaction from politicians for every wack job that shows with a gun means law abiding citizens should not have guns. You know the arguments and the agenda. If it were automobiles, one drunk driver causing multiple fatalities should result in politicians immediately passing laws to restrict sober drivers. And so on, except driver's license issue is not a constitutional right. Guns are, and our founding fathers emphasized it with the term "shall not be infringed".

The reason for this post is NOT to argue the issue, but to make note of a reverse situation. At this point in time, Russia is considering a law to allow its citizens to actually begin to own guns. Wow. What do you think of this one ?

Gun control gives the politicians something to suck on while they're "Fat Cat'n" with their Fat Cat friends. Each one clearly understands an armed society prevents an over-run of foreign power. If such an over-run should happen, every Fat Cat politician would be rounded up and jailed. Armed Americans actually protect the Fat Cats from outside intervention, and they know it.

In regards to Russia, I'll have to see it to believe it.
