Someone has pointed out: "...we can't even get sensible gun control let alone getting rid of guns...".

IMHO, much of "sensible gun-control" is being rejected BECAUSE lies about "we don't want confiscation" seem to abound. The only currency that means anything in the political world is credibility.

My 2 cents.
