right, keep the guns away from the people, in the hands of the crooks... That did wonders for D.C. and detriot . I don't own a gun, but I don't want anyone to be treated guilty, without trial, just due to gun ownership.

Seems this law is only good at keeping power away from the people so as the to protect the gvt 'guised as a "protect the children" and away from the people who are responsible!

It sounds like you have a pretty good handle on the power play the democrats use. DC IS the evidence of that test. Although Detroit doesn't have any gun bans due to Michigan's pre-emption law, The People's Republik of Michiganistan requires every handgun to be registered...(including my AK pistol which legally I "could" carry concealed with my cpl )
