And all banks will be closed on January 1, 2000 due to "technical difficulties" -- right.... As for banks expecting a run on cash, it's these "doom and gloom" messages that are fueling the hysteria. If people believe something deeply enough, they'll find a way to make it happen. You are part of the problem, not part of the solution. >>> Let's keep those handguns locked up safe (but instantly accessible >>> to the owner).

If there is any kind of trigger lock on a gun, then it is not "instantly accessible". If you needed it in an emergency, you'd still have to take a few seconds to get that lock off. This is _still_ a contradiction in terms and verges on false advertising. Saying that your pistol will be "locked up safe (but quickly accessible)" is an accurate description.
