- Just to further complicate the matter, there are those of us out
- here who would support reasonable (let's not get into what
- reasonable means here) gun control as an end, not as a step
- toward confiscation, have guns (Felicia or I can reach up and
- grab a her .357 out of the gun box without getting out of bed),
- and are not libertarians at all.
