You can't be serious. Have you ever looked at the facts? Alcohol, nicotine, etc., are heavily taxed and controlled, and the number of deaths from them is over 20x that of guns. Cocaine and other drugs are outright BANNED, and while the number of deaths is small, the crime rate from them is out of this world. Reports are 90% of all crime is drug related. And you think dealing with guns the way we deal with drugs is the answer? Wake up and smell the coffee Tom. -- Mike Tighe, (214) 497-4206 tighe@convex.com
