Yes, I did. When I asked, my interest was to hear what laws you favor to address the gun-control/rights issues. In your reply you highlighted many things from problems to failures to NRA hate. You didn't suggest anything that could be formed into a law or a change to an existing law.

You did ask me for my thoughts and I wrote a few and addressed some of what you wrote.

Out of respect for the ideas of progress, Democracy and for my time in responding I'm respectfully asking you to consider answering my original question of how you propose to change or improve the existing BGC system and related laws or reply what I wrote and to address my thoughts:
