Well, that's very nice, isn't it?  The Brady Bill is not the be-all, 
end-all solution to gun control, but it does help.  It will stop a man who 
has a fight with his wife from going out, getting a gun, and blowing her 
head off.  It is not intended to completely end crime.  Giving everyone 
guns wouldn't help much either; you'd just have a hell of a lot more dead 
people.
I sort of agree with you about the speed of justice in our court system, 
but I understand that a lot of it is necessary in order to protect the 
innocent.  If you were wrongly convicted of a crime, would you want to be 
dead within a week with no chance for appeal?  Don't think it can't happen 
to you, because if someone in authority wants you dead, it'll happen.
Oh, about prisoners getting sentenced to life then getting out in a few 
years, a lot of that is due to overcrowding in the prisons.  I bbelieve 
that a lot of the pro-gun people are also those who say "I don't want to 
pay for some prisoner to live!" so the jails are forced to release people 
who are not ready ot inhabit society.
