Avoiding the issue because it's a "can of worms" is just sticking one's head into the sand.

this being a non-political site, I think he meant he didn't want to discuss the issue here.

It's really a public safety issue, but yes, of course it overlaps big time into the political arena. Forces that control this issue want to keep it political since it is then much easier to manipulate public opinion.

Ah, that billboard location brings back many memories of walking from my car parked near BU over the bridge to Lansdowne Street. I can almost feel the chilly air hitting me over the bridge on a winters night.

More to the point, I think they did too good of a job making it look real. I certainly didn't even realize it was a fake ad until I realized its location. I just saw the "WE SELL GUNS" and USA GUN SHOWS and assumed it was an ad for Gun Shows. My eyes did not even see the wording about "Criminals and Terrorists Welcome!" until I clicked on the link above and read the article. Interesting how we can selectively read things based on a headline.

What I find really shocking is that there still is the crying need for signs like that.
I mean, isn't it an absolute no brainer that criminals, crazies and terrorists should not, under any circumstances have easy (or any) access to guns and ammo?

And yet, they do!
With full support from the gun industry, gun lobby,spineless politicians who do their bidding and of course, millions of people acrosss this country.

I dont avoid the issue. I'm very strong in my viewpoints, which probably mirror yours very closely. However, i choose not to discuss the issue on a ski forum, thats all.
