That's a point. Many of those firearms are owned by collectors. But the inventory is still ridiculous.

KT, I agree - I like a well armed public. One reason the Nazis avoided Switzerland was the tiny country was heavily armed with expert marksmen. Gun training was compulsory. The Swiss also had a formidable defense network . Sometimes the gun is mightier than the pen -g- mike

but I don't mind them thinking that. <g> LOL. Your post reminded me of a story I saw on the tube some years ago. Seems this guy had a shop in a high crime area. When his breakins reached a rate of greater than one per week, and the police seemed unable to do anything, he took action. He would nightly release into his shop more than a dozen large rattlesnakes, and then retrieve them the next morning. Moreover, he heavily advertised this behavior. The breakins ceased. lurqer
