      <![CDATA["There's a vast difference between outlawing guns entirely and regulating them sensibly. Government should start giving due consideration to the latter."<br>
*****************<br>
The problem with this idea, is that the guns we'll be left with will be highly specialized "shooting toys" useless for self-defense (two-shot over-and-under goose guns, air rifles, single-shot handguns ect.)

      <![CDATA[The problem with "sensible regulation" is that it leads to more "sensible regulation" and then MORE "sensible regulation."<br>
The end result? Something like Britain, where guns are basically outlawed and gangs of young thugs have turned London into something out of "A Clockwork Orange."

      <![CDATA[Current gun laws DO NOT allow access to automatic weapons as you suggest in this piece, why do you spread such misinformation?<br>
<br>
  Further, regarding the meaning of "Well Regulated Militia,"  -- when the constitution was written, the term 'regulated' and 'regulation' did not mean governmental regulation. <br>
<br>
Well Regulated, according to Websters Dictionary of the time meant "Well Functioning"<br>
<br>
As in a "Well Regulated" pocketwatch kept good time.<br>
