RE: turn in your knives!

["Brian Azzopardi" <brian () gfi com>]

I think we all agree that it would be better to live in a country where
you don't feel the need to carry a gun to feel safe. Or the Stilton.

However, if people do feel the need for a gun, then there is a bigger
problem that needs solving.

In the US, one of the biggest anti-gun lobbies is run by the family of
James Brady. 

He's one of the folks shot during a botched Presidential Assassination
attempt against Ronald Reagan.

Funny how your views on handgun safety change when there's a bullet in
your brain.

Anyway, one of the facts on their website is that when you have a
handgun in the home, you are 22 times more likely to use the gun in a
criminal, unintentional, or suicidal shooting rather than a shooting
against a criminal.

In 1999 there were 154 "justifiable homicides" against criminals using a
gun.
There were 8,259 total handgun homicides that year.
