No one is listening still.
Abolish the insanity plea, as well as plea bargaining, and allowances for age and fit the punishment to the crime ,nothing is going to change.
Also, this is all a complete lie. I guarantee this guy got this BS from some NRA or gun nut website, because it sounds like an NRA talking point.
Wikipedia is not a "gun nut website," and it certainly isn't run by the NRA.

Why Grandpa Carries a Gun
Why Carry a Gun?
My old grandpa said to me ‘Son, there comes a time in every man’s life when he stops bustin’ knuckles and starts bustin’ caps; and usually it’s when he becomes too old to take an ass whoopin.’
I don’t carry a gun to kill people; I carry a gun to keep from being killed.
I don’t carry a gun to scare people; I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m paranoid; I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m evil; I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.
I don’t carry a gun because I hate the government; I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m angry; I carry a gun so that I don’t have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.
I don’t carry a gun because I want to shoot someone; I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m a cowboy; I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.
I don’t carry a gun to make me feel like a man; I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.
I don’t carry a gun because I feel inadequate; I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.
I don’t carry a gun because I love it; I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.
Police protection is an oxymoron: Free citizens must protect themselves, because police do not protect you from crime, they just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.
Personally, I carry a gun because I’m too young to die and too old to take an ass whooping’!
It is true that those who support the most restrictive gun controls also own guns.
Why then do all those people not simply turn in their guns and go on record as having done so? Shouldn't they participate in a national "I am unarmed" registry to demonstrate their "I do as I say" attitudes?
Because controling and owning a gun are two different things. Their complaints are legit. We have many gun laws yet no enforcement for breaking them. You cant allow everyone who wants one to get one.
It's because the "most restrictive gun-control" people understand that while they may be safe gun owners, other people just aren't, and they know it's important to make sure guns stay in competent hands at all times.
Like a lot of people out there, you appear to be putting an equals sign between "passing any type of gun control law" and "somebody wants to take away MY gun." That equation only makes sense if you are emotionally unstable, unemployed, a substance abuser, or marked by any of the other risk factors that lead people to misuse their guns. You could have every risk factor on the list and still be a responsible gun owner if you were willing to get it out of your house until you are sober, employed, etc. and no longer a danger to yourself and others.
Have you SEEN the gun-control proposals on the table in the past 25 or so years? There are hardly any and they are mostly a joke. I think your gun collection is pretty safe.
BTW, a lot of people DO get rid of their guns for various reasons and don't care who knows it.
Ahh, the high and mighty know "we know what's best" mantra of the Dems.
