I never thought of it as a gun issue... interesting idea. I always assume that folks who go in for this kind of thing don't feel free. They think (using the term loosely) they are or are trapped in the unproductive subset of society, held bound by their inability to visualize a better life because of their education and welfare systems, the excessive drugs and booze are just pain killers. I read an article in which the author compared the freedom he found in societies with their driving habits, his thesis being that people who have no control over anything else in their lives want to rule on the road, ignoring courtesy and law. Its a social barometer we all can watch. Leaves me thinking of Trainspotting...

(still I can't wait for the WC to start)
