Like I originally said............"you and your kind"............all kinds of proposals...........all of them basically worthless in this society.

this I find interesting, and its interesting in that you refuse to discuss something if you deem it unlikely. Ever heard of the idea of give them an inch and they take a mile?
The idea is ask for what you actually want, and compromise with something that everyone can deal with, but no one actually likes. The problem is that 2nd amendment folk don't want to even discuss it, and people like yourself don't think its worth even discussing apart from limited and weak resolutions like the 1000 yard rule, which are obviously worthless, but acceptable to the gun proponents.
Ask for a mile, and take an inch. I see no reason why a lively discussion about the mile couldn't be had, in both directions. Apparently, just because you can't carry a handgun, and people still get shot, you can't have any discussion on it.
All Ive been saying is what I want to see happen. Don't mistake that I recognize that what will actually happen, is nothing, or nothing effectual at least. On that, we agree, but our difference is that I don't use that knowledge in scathing attacks on any ideas.
