I can sit out in the yard overlooking the countryside and enjoy my pond without the remotest possibility of a "drive-by" shooting or accidental firearm discharge posing a danger, unlike many parts of the world where gun ownership is rife and legal, as is lack of control of the owners. Sincerely, Len. You can tell yourself that f it makes you feel better, but the fact is that gun-related crmes rose dramatically in the UK after total gun prohibition was enacted. You were never in much danger due to living in your little village. Your life is not appreciably safer now than 10 years ago. Urban dwellers have a different experience. The honest citizens gave them up, the criminals kept them and have less compuncton about using them, it's that simple. Sad, but true. Life would be so much easier if the simple, easy answers were always also the correct answers. "Unintended consequences". Mike Patterson Love the reality of unintended consequences. I would like to see the statistics that you are referring to. I know that more people were dying in Arizona during the height of terrorism in Ireland from gun violence than they were in Ireland. I'm a flaming liberal which means I support every one of our bill of rights. I was never too sure how the right to have arms in a militia was the same as every Tom, Dick and Mary having an Uzi but then until the last few years I never imagined that I would want to protect America from its own government.... Before I became as paranoid as I now am I could not see the harm in having government documentation of who has what weapons..... Wow! at this rate I'm going to be having electrified barb wire around the pond (and house).... |

If the flaming NRAers would stick to rec.guns, we could talk about ponds. |
