Oh.....WHERE to begin here.....

A, Number One, and First...i AM a law abiding, gun licensed holding, citizen of the US...i'm not sure where you are from, as you've chosen to hide your Location...

Great Britain

B, "Get rid of guns, and the murder rate WILL fall, I promise you."

can you?? can you REALLY?? sorry, i'll take my chances....i want my odds to be 'even up' with the moron that climbs in my window with a rifle at 3am...

Yes, I am willing to make the promise because I am certain I am right. As for your nocturnal stand-off with a moronic intruder, I doubt the law will evenup the odds. He's awake - you're half asleep. He's expecting trouble, you're not. He's already armed, and gun is ready to use - yours is safely hidden from the kids, with amunition hidden somewhere else for safety reasons (hopefully under lock and key and in a fireproof safe). How much safer are you?

and C, "universal gun possession" was NOT what the ruling said...

"The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Americans have a right to own guns for self-defense and hunting", was what it said....those weapons have to be registered...

My understanding of "Americans" is everyone in America, including lunatics and criminals. That's what I meant by universal.

But I hate guns with a passion and if I'm guilty of misinterpreting the ruling, then so be it. I withdraw nothing

not sure what point you're trying to make...but i'll defend to the death, your right to make it...would you do the same for me?

That the right to possess firearms is bad law and probably a dangerous one. I'd defend any other right for you. But that one? Never.
