Whoa! We are WAY apart on the gun issue, WAV. I prefer a society where just about EVERYBODY is packin' some heat and then people can defend 'emselves if they need to. THAT's what I call "equitable".   That way you can separate the men from the boys, to use a human expression...or the apes from the monkeys, as I would rather put it. Puttin' guns only in the hands of the police and army is like lockin' yerself inside a cage and givin' THEM the key! It's the slippery slope to a friggin' dictatorship.
