Robert, If someone dies as the result of a gunshot, even if that gunshot is 'accidental', i.e. not intentional, isn't that a crime? negligent use of a firearm or some such thing? If so, isn't the same true of an automobile? and if not, why the hell not? Either tool requires a certain degree of responsibility. Failure to live up to that responsibility should be a crime. -darin _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies
