My opinion: if you haven't read the entire 80 page document, you have no right to post an argument in this thread. (just my opinion.)

I used to be very much for gun control (as in, things such as the AWB), and then I did a little research and saw the statistics - many of which are also in this document.

Now, the only form of "gun control" I support is longer waiting periods and background checks and perhaps stricter licensing. Make people wait 6 months to receive their gun (most people aren't in hurries, and if there's a good reason to be then a court can overturn the waiting period). Make people be required to pass - and re-pass every year or so - marksmanship testing to obtain and maintain their license. But do not take away anyone's right to own a gun.
