Dwight, a couple of quick points. I no longer argue the gun issue. Why? 'Cause you guys won. The proliferation is now so overwhelming, the numbers of guns out there so vast. Years ago I used to argue the point....but no group is better organized or carries more sway with the politicos than the NRA. You guys might as well have written the book. It's to the point now that I easily understand the "perceived" need to have a gun.....as well as the sense of freedom it seems to bring certain people. People buy 'em now as much now for fear of the fringe element as they do for fear of crime. But the arguments....come on, they were always specious. No one envisioned back then the firepower, the massive loss of life that could occur within seconds....quite a difference between the powder, and long barrel musket.....and today's automatics. "a well armed militia"....wasn't that the point........not every crazebo in the country. But hell, now that the nuts have 'em we ALL need 'em. Not to mention the multitude in the hands of every street punk As I said you won...congratulations...I guess. By the way Dwight....my reference to nuts doesn't apply to you....as far as I can tell anyway...(:o Stan
