Exactly. You may have never seen, used or owned a gun in your life, but you are probably able to go buy one. Once you do buy one, how it is handled and what you do with it is YOUR responsibility.
You may have never seen, used, or owned a car in your life, but if you have decent credit you are probably able to go buy or lease one. Once you do buy one, you are required to be insured against damages that might result from your negligence or accidents you cause (or suffer) with that car. Prior to taking that car out onto public roads where you could kill, maim, or damage other people's cars and property you are required to take a proficiency test. If you are caught breaking the rules of how you are to operate your car, you may have your right to use it revoked, or the car itself confiscated. Your use of the car is YOUR responsibility but society has effectively determined that most people DO NOT DISCHARGE THAT RESPONSIBILITY WELL and has placed controls around use of cars. mjr. _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
