Don't worry Nipper.. Criminals never attack people that don't have guns.. Only law abiding people that have guns attack other people.
Hmmmm... lets see... I have a 9mm Beretta, a .357 S&W revolver, a .45 Colt Combat Commander, a .357 Dan Wesson Revolver and a .44 cal Black Powder Navy Colt.... Not counting several long guns and 4 shotguns. I guess I must be one of those insane law abiding citizens that's going to suddenly go crazy and start shooting everyone. At least, to hear the Chicago police tell it, that's what's going to happen.
You misunderstand one thing though.... You said in your post that it's a big victory for us gun enthusants...and I suppose to some degree it is... but it's an even bigger victory for all American citizens.
