[Vision2020] [Spam] Guns or thoughts

[lfalen]

If he wanted a gun bad enough, He'd find one. Your argument should be that with stronger gun control laws fewer people may go to the extra effort to obtain one illegally.  My argument is that my kids would be safer if a criminal thought I might have a gun instead of knowing that I don't.
