Wow! It appears I've missed one of those prized FunSec debates in my sleep. For all those that push the "need" to ban guns, because they are so-o dangerous I give you this challenge: Put an (eek) LOADED gun on the table - and wait for it to do some damage. You know, kill someone, rob a poor citizen, etc....
OK, I've done that. No-one got killed. Then I banned guns in the UK, and our murder rate was suddenly one twentyth of the USA. And I have a theory about how this works. My theory goes like this - when you have a lot less guns in the population, you get a lot less people being killed by guns. Let me know what you think of that theory. Anyway - I'm all in favour of having lots of guns in America. That's because I never go there.
Let me know how long it takes will ya? (Banning guns is like typical Western medicine - heal the effect, not the cause.)
Healing the effect sounds good to me. When I fell into a bed of nettles and ow ow ow, the cream I put on my arm worked so much better than cutting down all the nettles. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
