  2. Christ...and all I did was post an email I received from a right winger friend of mine..... #39;( Or.....maybe......I wanted to stir the nest to see what happened..... Just for the record; I'm a firm believer that the Second Ammendment was put in place to prevent the Federal, State or Local Governments from UNRESONABLY attempting to control the ownership of firearms by PRIVATE citizens in this country...sorry MJ. England dates back damn near to the beginning of civilization, Australia came to be what it is today partly because of what the English used it for, America also became what she is 200+ years ago partly because of England and Europe influences in general. We're not perfect, hell, we're not even in the right a lot of times, but we are what we are...and some of that has to be directly attributal to the fact that there are so many firearms in this country. We have the Constitutional law and the guarantee of a means to protect ourselves and our beliefs. The fact that a minescule minority of illegal gun users make the statistical charts frightening does not give the government, or any other group, the right to ban or overly control ownership. <2nd Ammendment right(s) rant over>
  3. OK I guess it's a medium problem also.....
