At the same time, I wouldn't particularly object to removing the restriction for ex-felons (except when it has been imposed as a condition of parole). I don't object to the law forbidding children to posess handguns other than under the currently provided conditions of adult supervision, but if you call that "gun control" then you're using the term in a highly unconventional way; children are not allowed to posess alcohol or buy tobacco but nobody calles that "prohibition".

Gun Control is restrictions on
Quote:
-- concealed carry without a permit in jurisdictions where a permit is required,
-- use of a firearm in comission of a felony,or posession of firearms by those not legally qualiied to posess them: convicted felons, those to whom firearms are prohibited as a condition of their probation
-- handgun posession by anyone under 21.

Nothing unconventional about it. That has always been called gun control. MaggieL says she is opposed to gun control when just
yesterday, MaggieL approved of gun control.
So how do we reconcile MaggieL's opposition with when she posted
yesterday? Apparently MaggieL wants us to believe that Rush Limbaugh lie that gun control means removing all guns. Classic fear tactics? Apparently MaggieL has a Rush Limbaugh interpretation.
When confronted to provide facts and details, well, MaggieL really does approve of gun control. It is the expression (a phrase hyped as evil in Rush Limbaugh propaganda) that she fears.
MaggieL approves of gun control. She approves of restrictions on 155 mm howitzers. She does not approve of "posession of firearms by those not legally qualiied to posess them". And she admits to all this while kicking and screaming - pretending to be opposed. It is called gun control not matter how she denies the phrase. MaggieL has approved of 'gun control' – once we eliminate hype and fear from Rush Limbaugh lies and propaganda.
