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.

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.
