[Jeff Higgins]

It's like any other hobby for many of us, Larry. Does anyone "need" a Porsche? Does anyone "need" to golf? Does anyone "need" a camera? They are all enjoyable pursuits for responsible people to enjoy. People speed, die, and kill others with unnecessarily fast cars. I could kill as easily with a golf club as a gun; many have. I could load up the 'net with kiddie porn with the cheapest of cameras. With all of these "I coulds...", with all of the potential for harm from just about any artifact of modern existence, many of us find it odd (and distressing) that so many have chosen to focus on guns. Certainly, in the wrong hands, they can do a great deal of harm. Most of us are not "the wrong hands" and should not be restricted in our harmless hobbies or punished for the crimes of others.

And please don't tell me you take anything Michael Moore has to say seriously...
