I did not say that. What I said was that gun control laws where the product of increasing violence in cities in the 1970's. I also said that the pendellum now is swinging in the other direction. I would include the recent Supreme Court decision in that. Cities are becoming safer; people are becoming less concerned about gun control. I think you should give up your right to bare arms because I don't think home RPGs and C4 are needed in today's advanced society but thats got nothing to do with handguns. RE: Guns for Safety?
