I'm surprised the Russians didn't hold out for an official apology. 06.04.01 Lost Chinese girl strays into Russia Novosti A Chinese girl wandered across the border into Russia and was found recently at the Rassypnaya Pad station in Primorye, authorities said. The girl, approximately 10 years of age, had apparently lost her way while following the railroad tracks from China. Upon seeing people at the station, the frightened child ran toward the crowd, said the duty officer at the station. After realizing they were not Chinese, she began to weep. The officer informed border guards who contacted their Chinese counterparts and then passed the girl to attendants of a Chinese train.

, they all or almost all had families who made the guns accessible. So, do you see a problem with general gun ownership yet? Or maybe a nice legal case for actions against parents who own guns... potentially endangering the lives of other children? <sarcastic g> BTW, I'm quite happy for people to own their own guns. Kept in secure, regulated, licensed clubs, used for target shooting. Transported to other registered, licensed, regulated and inspected venues only, for competition or variety purposes, in secure, registered vehicles at times pre-arranged with police etc. Why would any non-homicidal person want a lethal weapon, designed purely to allow someone with minimal skill and knowledge to kill at range, in their home?
