It's not like guns are used for masacres daily, either. -- And what are we doing when the two most powerful nations on earth -- America and Israel -- stomp on the elementary rights of human beings? -- letter to the editor from W.

Post #200,379 by jake123 3/24/05 5:54:48 PM Reply	Holy geez, try to keep up That's about the case in Britain that I mentioned earlier. Police in Britain aren't armed with guns anyway. Arkadiy: but when they are, a lot more people get killed than would if the perp had been armed with a big knife, say. --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately, my thinking is pretty ragged at the moment.
