That i do have a problem with. Seems like the new chief has just stated to the media that all the gun play is attributed to guns smuggled up from the states.

I would like to know just how they can prove this.

Silly Kentuckians.

According to the gun nuts, the whole point of owning firearms is so that an oppressive regime can be overthrown (just like in Saddam's Iraq). In other words, so you can kill people with different political views.

Not condoning, just saying. Dueling has been the norm, historically. Not just in USA.
Japan made it illegal in 1889.
Throughout Europe from the Renaissance through to the 1800's (and up to the 1920's in Italy), the Duel was considered a reasonable, appropriate and acceptable (although often technically illegal and harshly punished if discovered) way for people of import to settle their differences.

Just trivia.

This is 2005. I don't know any civilised country where duelling is legal today.

Those who bring up the point about other weapons that could have used really need to compare the lethalness of guns compared to other weapons.

Stab wounds are more deadly than bullet wounds on average.

Do you also expect dealers of sextoys to be "carrying" ?

I believe in this case the proper term is "packing".

As long as Americans with guns stay within their border. I don't really have a problem with what they do with them.

Sweet! Come on boys, let's drive drunk up to the Canadian border and empty our guns into Canada.

Flub! Actually, you're quite right...we didn't disagree in any of the text you posted...only in the sentiment that you seem to be in support of gun control, and I'm on the other side of that fence.

And nope...I don't disagree with anything in your earlier posts, except with the conclusion that these reasons are sufficient cause to implement an outright ban or even tighter gun control.

The "nuke" question, oft raised by Ted Stryker....I'd support it NOT being made publically available, of course, and my reasoning FOR that would be that (since Dubya is still Prez...unfortunately...I'll use his vernacular) "nucular" stuff ought to be considered a strategic resource and kept out of the hands of the general public as a matter of policy.

As for the mortar...I'm all for it (even tho I've never seen the need, nor a reason to own one of those either). I think, though, that such ownership should come with strings, already spelled out in our constitution. Owning such weapons should require one to register as part of a "well regulated militia."

And glad you liked the tangent!
