Some a the previous comments pretty much show that the gun control issue cuts across party lines, despite the conventional wisdom identifying it as a Republican or conservative issue. Some conservatives believe in gun control, and lots of liberals are against it. It's the looney left fringe that gets so spun up about the evils of gun ownership. Numbah 16 - here's a news flash - the government doesn't trust officers with guns either (hmm, come to think of it, I've known some NCOs who don't trust some officers with weapons either!).
