Pennsylvanians grappled with a question that has preoccupied Americans for decades: Will we ever get real gun control here?

typical case of the intellectual projecting their views on the general population. It's like they don't want to say, " I want my liberties taken away because I'm a scared weakling." so instead they say, " [people] want to know: when will we get gun control?"

It doesn't matter whether we are law-abiding; people like her don't trust or like people like us. Nor are they really comfortable with themselves. That is not going to change--even if we are all disarmed. It's our minds, our values, our attitutes that are the real weapons to these folks; that is what they fear most.

If you choose to engage her in a dialogue, might I post a reminder that the ideals of taking The High Road do not end at your broswer window.

The important thing to note here is that she didn’t prove her point. The gun-control movement is well-organized and well-funded and has been remarkably successful.
