Yep - I don't mind the guns, it's the ammunition that scares me! Speaking of which, I remember visiting Corregidor, an island in the Philippines, where the Japanese finally conquered the country in WWII. This was twenty years later, and we all disembarked from this jetty, while only about 200 feet away sat huge piles of artillery shells, rusting away in the hundred degree heat - If they had gone off, I wouldn't be here. My guardian angels have been kept very busy, this time around! ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <awoelflebater@...> wrote :

VERY pleased it never went off, baking up there, under the shingles - Instant skylight! Quickly turned it in to the police station. That's a bit scary, to think you don't need a person or a gun in order to get hit by a bullet!! ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote : I grew up around people who had guns, but no one with that many, except for one man and he was an antique gun collector. He probably had more than 112, but none of them made after 1940's and most were much older. But yes that is kinda crazy. From: "awoelflebater@...

You see, he is just emphasizing my point -the more guns that surround you the more you feel you have to own and shoot guns. It is a vicious circle and the guy is hopefully an exception with his 112 firearms. It is a kind of crazy, don't you think? http://www.bbc.com/news/28951806 http://www.bbc.com/news/28951806 http://www.bbc.com/news/28951806 Arizona shooting: America reacts http://www.bbc.com/news/28951806 Views from the US following the accidental killing of a shooting range instructor by a child in Arizona.
