Wow, it took six whole pages before reaching this level of hyperbole? Is that a new record?

I find all of this fascinating. I don't personally know anyone who owns a gun. Not that I know of, anyway. Oh, wait. I know one person. He uses it for hunting.

Anyway, I always find it amusing, too, that gun fanatics use these statistics like they do...as though gun laws are the only factor in crime.

Back to Obama:
I don't think anyone has anything to worry about. The country will likely always be awash in guns.
