Cam, I like you so please don't take this the wrong way.
Honestly, why do you care what we do over here?
It seems to rub me the wrong way when people who live in different hemispheres question the way we choose to live.
I get so frustrated by this whole debate.
First point. Some people will always do bad things. Whether it be with a knife, gun, bow and arrow, spoon or other utencil people will find ways to do bad things.
Second point. Gun control only applies to those who OBEY THE LAWS.
Criminals don't care if there is a ban on 15 round magazines or if there's a five day waiting period on gun sales.
I personally don't have a problem with these types of laws. But I can see why some do. they see it as a slow stranglulation of their rights to own fire arms.
Third point. I also believe that education is the key to safe gun ownership.
And finally, what really burns my ass is watching some of these liberal actors talking about wiping the country clean of weapons because the "founding fathers" didn't intend on having people toting semi auto rifles 'round town... they don't care too much about protecting those particular rights... but... when it comes to protecting their right to free press/speech, they get their panties in a wad when people talk about having the gov't put controls on film material... sex, violence, what have you... Because they are "guaranteed" that right.
... like the founding fathers ever imagined freedom of assembly would be used to allow hate groups to march on the capitol, or freedom of speech to allow pornography to run rampant or people to sell albums describing the murder of police officers.
"I cannot and will not be my brothers keeper."
Of course, the best solution to this problem would be to wall off California from the rest of the country and let them have at each other.
Rant over, I feel better now.
Cam, you hippee...
