Hello, guys,

I just heard some very interesting numbers on WBAL's morning show
with Uncel Al. I think, they perhaps might wake up some people-
but perhaps I am too optimistic.

Facts:

Every year, more US-citizens are killed by guns than during
the whole, 10-year vietnam war (then: ~53.000).

The murder rate in Great Britain is about 350/year. That is less
than in Balto city alone.
 
Considering that Great Britains has not less than 1/5 of the 
population of the US that would result in a murder rate of 
1750 per year in the US. 

Compare that to more than 50.000!

You simply can't brake the laws of logic- more guns out in the streat
definitely means more killings.


And, yes, I know what is going to come.
- the right to bear arms (this right refers to the purpose of bearing
  arms, too: *exclusively* to defend this country)
- All bad guys will not respect.......
- All good guys will be helpless......
- I don't know what I am talking about....
- One of these days I might be happy if the 'free militia' saves my a**...

Because it has become a habit for one of the more frequent posters here
to quote Robert A. Heinlein, let me make a quote from a SF-novel too:
'Oh, Holy St. Leibovitz, let them dream on!'
(WHo said that, BTW? )

Regards

Alexander
