Gun policy is not one of them and I'm not really interested in making this thread a host for another topic of back and forth over suicides and 'my expert says' and 'my expert is better than yours' or 'why won't you address this tangential mosquito of concern that's hitching a ride on that pterodactyl your talking about?'

He's quite capable of starting a thread on the topic. I'd love to read it and participate but this particular circus needs only the one ring.

My thread on thanks including pro-control folks was quite sincere. Without any ideas for meaningful control this discussion would die. I know there's Democrats that would prefer to put it to a popular vote and just pass a law but tyranny over rights is not more desirable simply because the tyrant is a majority rather than a small group or individual.

thanks for the feedback
