[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] Right on the money, Liam. *bludgeons UM with a Norway-class* But now to the question at hand... Now since laws affecting gun ownership nearly by definition don't affect criminals, you have to take into account that the legislation only affects law-abiding citizens. You'll always have criminals with guns, short of eliminating ALL of them, so the optimal solution is to let any law-abiding citizen own a gun, but keep as many out of the hands of children and criminals as possible. Enforcing the laws that already exist would be a good place to start. They include instant background checks, and disallowing the sale of firearms to anyone with a criminal record. Good start. Then there's Bush's plan to raise the age at which one can own a gun to 21. Also good. Obviously, there's not much you can do to completely eliminate the chance of running into a nut with a gun (AKA a criminal). Your best bet is to be able to defend yourself if you do. [/QB][/QUOTE]
