Indeed. The "beauty" of a gun from the point of view of a terrorist or madman is that hardly any preparation is required. You don't have to be smart enough to figure out the quantities of ingredients required to make a bomb, you don't have to take the time to assemble it, etc. You just pick it up, and you're in business. -- ##### |\^/| Colin R.
