Well, I'm not a big fan of fun ownership...
But if we ban fun ownership, only criminals will have fun!

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

That said, things would be better if I were to go back in time and murder your founding fathers before they put in the Second Amendment.
Wouldn't need to murder them; a copy of Strunk & White's would've helped, though.
Who knows?  The might have been gun nuts.  They were certainly traitors.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

For the life of me I do not get why this is still a divisive political issue.  Hasn't this already been decided in favor of the gun-lobby years ago?
So long as there are other countries out there giving your native leftists and moderates an example of what things could be like in a society where everyone wasn't armed to the teeth, you'll always have the more idealistic of them trying to make moves like this.
