| Message | This really should be common sense. Whatever one's opinion on "gun control," some "weapons," like biological, chemical, or nuclear weapons, should never be privately owned. "But private citizens could never afford such terrible weapons!" Really? What about a wealthy international terrorist? Is that idea so unthinkable? |
