And in fact Canadian tighter gun controls do have a postive effect, but since we live so close to the biggest gun-toting country in the world, it ain't hard to sneak them across the border.

And I suggest very strongly if those Columbine kids didn't have such easy access to guns, that whole thing would have panned out completely differently.

And forget about the whole argument of protecting yourselves from whatever it is you fear the most -- how many Americans are killed every year accidentally from guns that weren't stored properly or safely.
