I own guns for hunting, target shooting and collecting. Then you would not mind that the guns are kept track of ... like a car for instance. TP

Hmmmm.........the black population in the US totals 12.9% of the population; in South Africa, its 79%: Have you checked the jails and the population percentages based on race/genes and how they are "somewhat" out of proportion. Remember the point is criminal usage of guns, not simply gun ownership. That doesn't change the fact that blacks make up a much, much smaller percentage of the population in this country. What are you afraid of, Eric? And we won't even get into the racist notion As I recall this was your notion - it was apparently only valid when you spoke about the genetics of whites from England. You may want to examine your hidden racist bias. In fact, I never brought up race..........I simply brought up the notion that people who are violent may have a gene that predisposes them to such behavior. That would include every race.....not just whites. Just a theory.......... PS: This genetics idea of yours puts you in good company - in Bowling for Columbine - Charlton Heston when asked why America is so much more violent than other countries - he said it was due to the mixture of races in the USA. You know he's old and has issues - so I can easily overlook what he said. And how many years was the head of the NRA and influenced the gun policies in this country? But you go ahead and overlook his confused, racist beliefs. That's real smart of you.
