... I'd say that's a good thing.

The "Assault Weapons Ban". You know, the one he specifically mentions by name?

Er, he said he supports the "Assualt Weapons
BAN". Gosh, how silly of me to think he is referring to a ban there, eh?

When he says "we" aren't loving them enough, I'm pretty sure he doesn't mean himself.... or internet forum posters... I would gather he means the would be criminal's parents, the would be criminal's freinds, the would be criminal's teachers...
That's a valid point. What's wrong with that? Do you forsee some misguided legislation that's going to force people to love criminals? I don't think you need to have any fear of that.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a more partisan thread created by one of the moderators of this forum...

I see you are one of the folks who think that we should not be permitted to speak our mind, because we happen to volunteer to keep the spammers and whatnot off the forum.
Your attempt at censorship is not appreciated.

I guess you missed the part where I said I would have considered voting for him, before he jumped on the gun-ban bandwagon.
