I really wanted to say that I loved Dai's point about the rights of the community superceding the rights of the individual; or rather, the good of the community being held above all. Isn't it time we all agree (here in the US) that the greater good is not served by the proliferation of easily-available weaponry? "The greatest good for the greatest number"--that Utilitarian guy (John somebody, a Brit I think) had the right idea.
