Hmmmm

Not in CO. as we have some rather strange laws, ever since Columbine. Not that they are enforced in any regular manner.

Personally, I see the frenzy on the part of our opposition as being a direct result of their argument being based on emotion, not reason. Any reasonable person can see, for instance, that the numbers simply do not support their positions. Gun folks are just well, forgive me, wonderfully "dull" when it comes to breaking laws or being violent. We tend to be the folks who still get misty-eyed when the National Anthem is played. We tend to be the folks who get a catch in the throat when we hear that a member of the military has given their life for our nation. We still smile with pride when we see Old Glory fly.

We just do not rub banks, shoot up schools or deal drugs. All of which are the sort that spark the howls for new laws and bans.
