Ross's report is very well done. It covers the history of gun legislation from America's earlier times and continues to the current era. It even makes suggestions as to what is in store for our future regarding gun issues.

One exception I take with his report was, "...People who like socialism have gravitated to Canada, England, and Australia. People who like freedom have gravitated to America...?

Sure, some immigrants there are socialistic as well as some Americans are socialistic. That doesn't merit labeling everyone there or here that way. There's a strong majority in each of these countries who are independent thinking, believers in democratic principals of government, and who have survived battles in foreign lands to fight for these beliefs.

Couple other mistakes or mistatements. When was the "Gun Free Schools" act overturned? Its my understanding that a firearm in a school zone is still a punishable federal offense. I also don't see the Brady Act or any other law as being ruled unconstitutional any time soon.
