1. No connection...crime has gone down in places with resrictive gun laws...

so what? Doesn't get us better jobs or universal health care.

2. wow!!

Thanks for admitting that there is no guns/crime connection! Now we can abandon the useless gun control planks and concentrate on those other issues as you suggest.

4. Feel free to send a letter or phone call to anti-gun politicians and tell them to

give up on the high cap magazine ban and AWB.

thank you.

5. True. More guns does not equal more crime. Lets work on the important issues ...

such as jobs, healthcare, getting out of useless and foolish wars, and helping Main Street not Wall Street and not waste our time on attempting to pass another assault weapons ban.
