| Message | Oh sure, only those that are willing to break the law by purchasing weapons from the ensuring black market will be able to own guns.....I can see the murder rate dropping at just the thought of it, think for a moment! Besides, with people like you in power, I'd hope the population is armed and ready to revolt. |
