I don't think that your comments polarize the discussion, Quick, and I don't think you should withdraw from the discussion. I just think that if one side wants guns eliminated, and the other thinks that any control means zero guns for them, that we may be missing an opportunity to significantly reduce the number of guns and thus significantly reduce the carnage.

I read that in Israel, where defence is well-appreciated, you can still be denied a gun if you don't need it for defence, and you can only have certain types of guns. And it is rare for anyone to be allowed to have more than one gun. All that might be a start.

I understand and appreciate your opinion. And I'm a pragmatist.
