I understand and have a firm grasp of both my reality as well as many other realities. I am just pointing out another point of view which is completly valid and sadly will never be employeed. As you and a couple of others have pointed out, Pandora's box has been opened a long time ago and it is a good and valid argument to continue to allow hand guns to be made and sold. But I think stopping that cycle is also just as valid.
