"Gun control" isn't about guns, it's about "control".

Mutt, you are, of course, 100% correct. I was trying to explain the difference between America and many other "free" countries to my son, and this was the major difference I elaborated upon. In the USA, people are born with inherent rights, that are their's just for being born, and can not be stripped by the state without due process of law (in theory, anyway). Our laws for the most part acknowledge these inherent rights, and adjucate disputes when individuals pursing their rights come into conflict. Many other "free" countries believe that rights come from the state. If this is the case, anything the state gives it can take away...Mutt wrote:Nothing gives me the right . The 2nd assures that I have this right already . MUTT
Still, it is encouraging to see the poll results. I doubt many of the "no's" took that position based on the inherent rights argument...
