This was done in Albania - and several weapons per inhabitant. However this
has only lead to the deaths of people in that country.
IMHO the only good that came out of that was the weapons that were smuggled
into Kosovo so the people could defend themselves. Sadly now some
Kosovo-Albanians have turned on the Serbs (they have even gone into Serbia
fighting them).

It's also hard comming home late at night knowing that you can get
accidently shot by your own parents.
Sadly this idea that every one should have a weapon and "shoot first and
ask questions later" is spreading, it wasn't that long ago that a man here
in Sweden got shot to death just because he was close to someones house.
IIRC the man who shot him is beeing acused of his crime as murder.

By increasing the number of weapons the "bad guys" also will get their
hands more easily on weapons. And this *is* the reason why the US has so
many murderers (especially mass murderers). I doubt that it's in your blood
to kill inocent people.
But I'll agree with Michael on this:

I love them to, and also playing 3D games as Doom or "Murder Death Kill" -
still I wouldn't shoot someone down (pepsi cans on the other hand I've shot
with air-guns <g>).
And I must say I agree with Ricsi's mail completly, well put Ricsi!
