Any kind of firearm is restricted from convicted felons, people with serious mental illness, and minors. We have many laws restricting the possession and use of firearms, and if those laws were enforced, we would have less problems with illegal gun use. >> This is all true. However, *anyone* can get a gun through other channels. Of course, convicted felons probably have more access to these channels which, of course, would mean that they can get their hands on guns more readily than the average Joe. I am all for gun control and I am pro-choice. I believe that the banning of guns or abortions would do nothing to stop either. Carrie
