Our system doesn't do such a good job separating the law abiding sane who want to arm themselves from the mentally ill who are about to commit mass murder from arming themselves.

I'll support people arming themselves when you support massive investment in a mental health system to help take care of some of these unbalanced people who seem to go out and commit a mass murder every two months.

I value human life more than your right to carry an uzi that has no purpose in sport.

You're advocating higher taxes, i'm not. As far as mass murder, the nut in Colorado was a known threat, even by the school psychologist, what did they do? Nothing. So lets throw more money at something that doesn't even work

I just want to shoot my guns in a legal fashion, without interference from the govt. If you don't like it, too bad. It's my right.

Your reference to carrying an Uzi is absurd. But i'm sure your retort will be my position is absurd; I don't own an Uzi, don't even know anybody who does.
