	<description>&#34;It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people&#039;s minds.&#34; -- Sam Adams</description>

		<description>Fear of guns really doesn&#039;t serve 

anything MJH.  Rabid right wingers who are freaking out and buying guns because they think Obama is going to ban guns and freedom of 

speech and rainbows and whatever are irrational but I think we&#039;re to the point as a society now when we can admit that the legality of 

guns has essentially nothing to do with gun crime - even Bowling for Columbine showed that.

Also, AK-47&#039;s aren&#039;t machine guns 

and aren&#039;t even fully automatic if bought legally.  It is possible (but illegal) to convert them to be fully automatic.  I say all this 

as someone who&#039;s never owned a gun and probably never will, but I am supportive of the 2nd amendment.

If you look at the data the 

percentage of gun violence committed with legally purchased and licensed guns is vanishingly small (less than 1%).

I like the new 

bolding effect for highlighting btw.</description>
