George,
two comments.
1. What you are equating is what the anti gunners say; more guns makes for more crime or danger. So, in other words, you believe that lawfully and legally purchase firearms by law abiding citizens pose a threat to the common good. Do you believe that?

2. Would a an uncomprimising stand on censorship/defense of our 1st Amendmant rights be considered an extremist postion in your book also? Would all of us be willing to accept "reasonable controls" on our media, books, magazines, computer usage, internet access, etc??

I dont see how defending any of our constitutional rights is an extrmemist position. Why is it when we believe that the 2nd Amendment is not negotiable that it becomes extremist but if any of our other rights are threatened its okay to dig our heels in?
