Now for some prognostication. Gun control is coming: bend down and put your ear to the ground; can you hear it? What, you may ask, am I talking about? Women my friends, women. Do you remember the drunk driving campain? Women begged men to do something about it but the guys were quite resistant...

Well, well , we see that I am right on how Americans respond nowadays. First, you Gene. You call me a Socialist. Only in America do scurrilous charges get hurled at someone when you disagree with them. This does not happen in Europe, nor in Britain (and generally not in Canada either). Yep, Gene...

My God, ignorance just abounds with you guys. First, I AM an American, 4th generation. Frankly some of you guys can't even read correctly. Secondly, you all seem to be missing the very point which is right in front of you. In the Harrision case, the lunatic could not find a gun and attacked with...

Gene, one last point. You need to explain, beyond just the fact that genocide occurs in countries with weapons in the hands of the people, if prohibition of guns leads to genocide, why Canada and Britain are not included in your series. And above why is Nazi Germany included, but not post-WWII...

Two periods killed the web site so I shall replace it here. It is www.ojp. usdoj.gov/bjs/homicide/weapons.htm I shall check to make sure this works.

There are two things I forgot to mention. First, go to www.ojp. usdoj.gov/bjs/homicide/weapons.htm. . You will see just how handguns have contibuted to violence in our society. Also, it is worth observing that in the UK the Tory Party, a party with very close links to the Bush people, never...

Well, Gene all of your conclusions fall foul by ignoring vital facts. First, you have already stated that it is a fact that where guns are banned violent crimes go up. Your thesis however flounders when reviewed in the light of facts. In Canada, for example, the average median for murders per...

Dave B. proves that, as usual, Americans do not know what they are talking about. First, Britain only outlawed guns after a mass murder event long after WWII. Secondly, these guns never protected the UK. Hitler could not even cross the channel unless he took the RAF to task and he failed at that...

I forgot to mention, did you notice that the US had 19,650 murders in this time frame while England had just 681? Their numbers would no doubt of a little when Scotland, Wales, and N. Ireland are added, but not by much. Scotland has only one tenth the population of England and Wales is even...

Gene, here is your proof, straight from the US Justice Dept. itslef. Go to www.ojp. usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/html/cjusew96/crpr.htm Notice the graphs between England and America on violent crimes. See how much higher it is here rather than there. See what I mean Gene, never believe anyone. This only...

Really Gene? From what data set do you draw this inference? Have you, for example, lived in these countries? Have you, to give another example, performed an analysis to see if this is true? Frankly Americans have become dogmaticians. Everything is simply believed, it is *in nuce*--dogma. No one...

I must tell you folks this is a load of rubbish. I have lived in the Great White North three times (great country IMHO) and the UK twice (I did my PhD at their third best school after Cambridge and Oxford, viz. the University of Edinburgh)and they are MUCH safer places. I never felt fear and...

Frankly Clinton just svaed those forests. By 2100 the US will have a projected 572 million people--half that of China!!! If we do not freeze destructive intrusive human activities (and 4X4 is one of them) then you children will have not have much of anything to enjoy. They may have to hike in...
