BobP... I agree with you - NO MORE public debate. However, you did miss my main point... A well regulated militia was used in Germany from 1933 to 1939 to disarm the real militia and, just a few days ago, on a smaller scale, a man was shot dead defending his home and family.

Please feel free to PM me if you want to discuss it further. HOWEVER, I really don't want to.

My apologies for raising the blood pressure of all concerned.

Never again will this subject appear in my posts to the Mudcat.
