Too big a country. Once you lose control of the herd of cats, you won't get it back. You can give a citizen the right to keep a gun in his home and keep control of that, without Armageddon I think. But you give every citizen $200 for a knee shot on a drug dealer, in this country ... well, a lot of people do enjoy Purge and Saw movies. Maybe it would be interesting to see it in real life. .....
Diderot, I used to be a bleeding-heart liberal *most especially* on guns, and then somebody took me shooting (plinking) and I lost my fear of guns, and now like most shooters I think guns are pretty ;- ) and that did indeed change my politics on self-defense. FWIW.
