Noted Quote: A Democrat On Gun Control

From www.demookie.com ~ "Among the Oklahoma Democrats who actually vote Democrat, I would bet that 70% own at least one firearm. I have attended meetings of Democrat activists out here in the boonies when I was the only one there without a pistol and a concealed carry permit. I don't own a pistol but I do own three long guns that I use for hunting. It is entirely possible that the Supreme Court will hand down a decision in the next couple of years that recognizes an 'individual' right to own not only long guns but pistols in the Second Amendment. The only way we are going to be able to get a good set of reasonable laws controlling access to firearms by persons who have demonstrated their willingness to break the law is to guarantee the law abiding gun owner that a future congress cannot enact a law mandating confiscation like happened in Australia. We are not going to be able to pass legislation requiring adequate records of gun sales to track guns used in crimes until the law abiding gun owners can be unequivocally assured that those records can never be used to take his guns away. We have got to be able to reach a middle ground in this tug of war and the only way to do that is to take the extremes completely and permanently out of the equation." - Gary D. Klein
