Absolutely correct, and all the molon labe and boating accident stuff is not the answer and frankly suggests a misunderstanding of the capabilities of modern law enforcement and the persuasive effect of a threatened prison term.

We are entering a new round of anti-gun sentiment and likely legislation, primarily at the state level, I suspect. We need to support the NRA (and yeah, none of us agrees with everything they do) and pay attention to what and who we vote for.

If you live in a solidly pro-gun state, I envy you, but please don't get too complacent. It wasn't that long ago I felt somewhat "safe." Now I live in Colocalichussets.

EDIT: I realize some of the boating accident stuff is said in jest and I mean no insult to anyone by my comments. We are on the same side of this issue. I just don't believe it advances our cause to claim or think that would be the answer and I fear it furthers the stereotyped image of an "assault weapon" owner that the other side like to perpetuate. These comments are all public.
