I agree with you on the drunk driving part. Using a car irresponsibly is the same as using a gun irresponsibly and there should be penalties. Put guns, just like cars, when used responsibly are not a danger to anyone.

Then again, growing up in a society without guns, I can't imagine EVER wanting to own a gun <sigh> Philip Arnold Technical Director Certified ColdFusion Developer ASP Multimedia Limited Switchboard: +44 (0)20 8680 8099 Fax: +44 (0)20 8686 7911 www.aspmedia.co.uk www.aspevents.net An ISO9001 registered company. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
