Thank you once again for the thoughtful take on this issue...it represents a clear consensus of the majority of Americans. Then the questions is, "why do we allow cop-killer bullets, large remove able magazines and military style weapons?" The why is related to the fear...seeing the black polic chief of one of the best polic forces in tears should say it all...but the killing of children didn't, the murder of police won't either.  We are governed by fear...that Obama is not one of us and he's coming for your guns seems to be a thread. So is this fear of a war going to start a war? Only if we continue to let a few rather strange leaders set the agenda.
