And it's easier to break down someones front door and snatch a child in the middle of the night, if the public is disarmed. What ever happened to... "knock, knock, we have a warrant to transfer Elian Gonzales to his father". No sense allowing that to happen when you can bash in the front door and stick an automatic rifle in the face of law abiding citizens huh? Michael

>Guns (and drugs) are mainly an issue of public health. TP< Emphatically no. The very idea that guns AND drugs have become primarily issues of public health is awesomely subversive. It serves only those who wish to erode the impediments to centralization. While it's a Nice Idea to see the safety of the process as institutional, and it may very well even be so, I would be very leery of anyone, in power or not, who makes the decision for me that I cannot use whatever force necessary to protect my home from, say, armed robbers or ronin SWAT teams.
