Election next Tuesday

The sad thing about gun legislation is that it tries to draw lines on very arbitrary bases. I think everyone would agree that it would be better to not allow a gun into the hands of the "sniper." However, the nation does have a long history of responsible gun owners who legitimately use their guns for self-defense and for hunting purposes. These individuals are not a threat to society and would certainly not abuse their right to own a fire arm. The trick, like in so many things, comes in trying to draw the line.
