Wofgang, I like your speed limit analogy.

Both with cars and guns the problem is made worse by media that hype up the fantasy and load our heads with dreams about how we can be happy and free if we can only getr behind the wheel of a big flash car racing along, or how our problems can be solved by using a gun.

And for some of us the fantasy turns into action. More especially with cars.

I'm lucky. Cars get you from here to there and they're handy for carrying things. Convenient, but nothing like as much fun as trains and trams and so forth. Guns - I hate to be anywhere around them. And the modern ones especially are such ugly things to look at. I can just about imagine that someone might actually think that in certain situations a gun might make you safer. But the idea that someone might like them as objects, when they could get for example, a musical instrument instead. That's just strange.
