       No offense intended.....but that was a fairly ignorant statement.  
Where are you getting your information about the itelligence of the gun 
owners of America?  In CA, just to but a pistol/revolver, you have to pass a 
test that is slightly more difficult than the test to get a drivers license.  
And more people are killed with cars each year than guns (not counting 
criminals and cops shot in the line of duty).  I am more scared of the 90 yea 
rold lady who can't see over the wheel of her 83 Cadillac (about 4500 lbs of 
steel) than I am of my nieghbor with a 12ga and his Sig.
