Excerpt from Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Several years ago one of the suburbs of Atlanta was having
problems with crime, so they passed a very controversial law
that everyone must own a gun. Crime dropped 83% within a
month of passage.

GUN OWNERSHIP MANDATORY IN KENNESAW, GEORGIA
Crime Rate Plummets - Why
The death penalty doesn't act as a deterent to killing, except that the
