A good start is taken by many to mean , we want more and more until one day we take your guns, or at least specific types of guns. I am not trying to be a ass here, I am simply trying to explain why the two sides are having such a hard time getting anything done. I know my thoughts on this topic are evolving. I am wiling to sit down and talk about changes needed to the system. I am still not willing to talk about banning ANY firearms though. Who knows how I will feel in another 5 years though. A lot of my changes about this have actually came about because of this thread and talking with all of you.
I appreciate this because I have been having several discussions regarding "gun control" with some friends and they keep hearing "ban all guns" and I keep pointing out that what I have seen (In my circle) is people saying, "We don't want to take your guns away, we don't want to ban all guns"
I only have a few who are actually reading each side and having civil conversations. This is one of them by the way.
