[Vision2020] The N.R.A. at the Bench

[Gary Crabtree]

A question for you, Low-T...

What is the magic number? What length is too great if it will save but a
single precious child? Because if the cost/benefit ratio on this issue is
the gold standard you better get ready to lay down the law on solid food
(choking) open bodies of water (drowning) and life in general (accidents)
All are more responsible for child mortality then firearms.
