Depriving criminals, the mentally ill, the drug addicted and so on the 
ability to purchase or obtain firearms is an admirable goal.  I don't know 
a single gun owner who's against it.  But if the only way to do this is to 
deprive 80,000,000 peaceful, law-abiding citizens of their Constitutional 
rights, is that really something we want to do?  Some people think yes; 
others think no.  Liberty involves a lot of tradeoffs, and the gun-control 
debate is one of the most contentious tradeoffs being discussed today.
