very true.  one of the problems with gun control is that you have people 
like Elton John involved, and some of them are so ignorant and 
bull-headed that they want to ban all guns completely (or turn off the 
whole internet for 5 years).

well of course i don't.

i do though believe that everybody should have access to high-speed 
internet, quad core processors, at least 2GB of DDR2 ram ... and 
firearms that are capable of destroying any PC that cannot properly run 
Windows Vista (w/ Aero enabled of course).

Computers have indeed become more important for firearms design and 
functioning.  They can both help make guns more accurate, and become 
just another point of failure for a computer-controlled weapon.

And now we have come full circle and can discuss the simplicity and 
reliability of the Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolver.
