Dear Blue Moon,

You are right, we'd get more answers etc. if you start separate threads. So...go ye forth etc.**BG**

Prsonally? I would somehow, in a Utopian kind of way, get rid of all the long-range weapons, that includes anything one can kill with, without being up close and personal. NOT that I want to preserve any weapons, either. I just can't see getting rid of all knives, umbrella sticks, etc.

What am I doing about it? Sold all the guns we used to have in 1983, except for an almost antique 22 rifle of my grandad's.

The other thing I would do and am doing, is work for acceptance of diversity. I am doing that by working through a non-profit human rights org. here and through them, reaching out to those who may feel fear and disenfranchised in the daily process of society.
