The same can be > said about firearms. Huh? I've never heard of a ham radio being lethal to someone when abused. I suppose you could bash someone over the head with one, but this is hardly in the same league with lethal firearms. Get real. > A simple glance at a chart of "death by" will show you that death by > firearms is way at the bottom (I believe on a par with death by lightning). Because our guns laws are fairly strict already. Now look at the US stats. I believe firearms are the *leading* cause of death among certain demographic groups (young coloured men, for example) - outstripping even cars. Now compare us to Western European countries. There is certainly a correlation between the deaths by guns and the severity of the gun laws. -- ##### |\^/| Colin R.
