Sorry; I actually have a life, a job, and in addition have been addressing some serious family healthcare issues, so I don't have the energy for this I sometimes do.
It's also boring having the same tired old liberal misconceptions and excuses about gun prohibition trotted out by yet another round of noobs who either haven't read the last round or have but didn't absorb any of it.
How many times are you going to hear interesting responses to the usual drivel like "If it saves one child it's worth it" or the "would you want your neighbor to have a {nuke|tank|machine gun}" slippery slope or "guns have no purpose except to kill" or "The constitution didn't really mean that" or "the constitution really did mean that but we should change it" or "prove that you really *need* a gun" or "if you try to prove it you're a dangerously sick paranoid".
The usual do-gooder motivations apply: to be seen publically advocating putatively noble goals. Practical issues and unintended consequences are unimportant.
It's freaking boring...especially when the advocacy comes from sour grapes in places where the local government has already disarmed everybody but the criminals and is blaming the lack of positive effect on the fact that the same prohibitionist mistakes haven't been applied *everywhere*, or expanded to kitchen knives, cricket bats, morningstars, slingshots or bullwhips.
