Well, it keeps 'em busy. God knows what they'd be working on if it weren't this. They've got their guns, gonna keep 'em.

(There is a part of me that thinks all legitimate guns should be registered just as cars are. If a badguy has an unregistered gun he'd be in deep doo-doo, just as if he has a car which isn't his. Registering cars doesn't keep the badguys from getting them, does make it easier to do something about it.)

The argument that there are enough regulations now and enforcing them would be all that's needed to protect against the bad guys getting weapons is interesting.

That might have a broader application. It's looking as if there are enough laws and regulations on the books without the Patriot Act to have thwarted WTC if only the government had followed the leads it had. No need for more infringements on personal liberty.

Of course, Congress could not have known that when they passed the Act because Congress didn't have the slightest idea what warnings, hints and indications were already out there.

Hmmm.
