BillD,

You stated:

"Indeed...and we discover this 'flouting' and 'illegal use' right after they shoot someone. And we prosecute them and confiscate the guns IF we ever find them.

I am SO encouraged. "




I will then state, in reference to Iraq ( and probably Iran)

Indeed...and we discover this 'flouting' and 'illegal use' right after they use a WMD. And we prosecute them and confiscate the WMD IF we ever find them.

I am SO encouraged. "


Do you see my point? Your comment implies that it would be desireable to take some action BEFORE the use of the illegal weapons- Yet I do not recall that viewpoint in a case that was far more dangerous.
