Mooh,

How do you propose to outlaw guns? Even those superior intellects in the European Economic Union have not outlawed guns--

Only thing I can figure is that there is a principled objection to the idea that our constitution says that we have a right to bear arms--

My experience has been that, for one reason and another, we have had a lot of reason to use guns here in the US, and so we tend to have more of them than people who have less use--curiously, there has been no "principled" complaint about the possesion and use of weapons in places like Chechnya--has our beloved editor perhaps written an editorial she has neglected to share?

At any rate, I think there is a certain amount of bitterness over on the British side owing to the fact that we once took some potshots at a few of their own--sorry bout that--
