mwc-
you hit the nail on the head.. that is the biggest argument/concern as to why we need to have guns..
if the government does say, "OK, handguns are illegal, turn them all in".. law abiding citizens will do that, but i guarantee you, the criminals wont. now obviously, this is a fantasy world i speak of, that will never happen, but you get my point.
but what you said is exactly how i feel.. i dont want to be at a disadvantage when it comes to having to defend myself, or my family. plain and simple..
and mwc, where have you liberals been hiding, AUSTIN... hehe
