Steve,
I, too, have the book - I think for anyone who has not lived in the USA it
would only confirm the stereotype of gun happy Americans; such normal
looking people with such weapons!! I find this constitutional right to buy
guns at any corner extremely uncivilised and troubling, and before everyone
on the list jumps on my head, I am only expressing a personal view, which I
am entitled to. Others may have different views which I respect.
Cheers
Jayanand
