Gun laws will only reduce good law abiding gun owners guns. Even if all guns are banned, they will still flow freely from coast to coast. You realize banning something never works. The drug war created the gun toting gangs. Good gun laws will unleash more gun violence than ever witnessed before in the course of history.

What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone that has read this is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points and my God have mercy on your soul. ----Line from 'Billy Madison' (modified)
