Who is "them"?

Less Than Half of Americans Support Stricter Gun Laws

Are you now frightened? I obviously don't need to ask about the confused thing though......

Here's a more accurate picture, if you're interested in facts. Guns | Gallup Historical Trends

just another liberal gun poll at that site. after all, there is no such thing as an assault rifle unless you are in the government or a gun hating democrat/republican.

I'm for reasonable people being allowed to own reasonable guns.

We're not doing a good job of keeping nuts from getting semi automatic weapons of mass destruction.

If I am paranoid, what other Constitutional rights would you want to take away from me when you become supreme ruler? Do the paranoid not have the right of free speech either?
