CURRENTLY

It's been some time since I posted. I just don't have many readers, but here goes. There has been a lot of talk about more restrictive gun laws lately (again) due the what appears to be an increasing number of "mass murders" as well as accidental deaths from young children having access to guns. I don't know if there truly has been an increase, or if it seems so because of increased media coverage of such events. The anti-gun crowd seems to have a never-ending supply of ideas aimed at circumventing the Second Amendment without actually depriving us of our right to bear arms. Some of the proposals target ammunition in various ways that would essentially make it so expensive no one could afford it (except of course for the criminals who would create a black market for it). Other ideas are for "smart guns" (guns that theorectically can only be fired by their owners) to be mandatory. For some gun owners (or would be gun owners), this is an appealing idea. Others see lots of problems with it, especially if it were mandatory. As technology evolves, it may become the norm; we'll see.
