the vast majority of gun related crimes are perpetrated by illegal possession of unregistered firearms.
maybe if courts enforced existing laws,

let's create more useless laws,unenforced...

Me, Me, Me. The Cape slogan.
I love Cape Cod. And you all love yourselves. Please excuse me while I barf.

legislation upon legislation
yet no results!
welcome to the brave new world..not!
glad my time is closer to ending than beginning..
