your method, as i understand it, would be to amend the constitution
so as to include a provision along the lines of "the right to keep and bear
arms shall not be infringed, unless your a goon", (where "goon" = ppl who
really really shouldnt have guns, ideally)... right?
do you really think thats *feasible*?
as for the luddite comment: baaah humbug. does my thinking your
proposal is not doable make me a luddite? yow. thats low. please...
being drawn by the irresistable lure of a trampoline (its been way too long),
