MD,

I feel your pain as I live in a state (CA) that symbolizes ignorance and fear mongering when it comes to the Second Amendment. The fact is there will always be bad people out there doing bad things no matter what laws are passed. What gets me are the voters who do support gun control and then cry foul when the bad guys get away with things. You shouldn't feel any shame or regret, after all you were pro-active and responsible in trying to address the issue. Funny how when the left such as the 99%ers stage a protest that includes violence and destruction of property it's OK. However when people like us call and write our elected representatives or stage a peaceful protest we're the 'radical' ones. A sad and mad world we live in unfortunately.
