handguns and shotguns and...

That last post should be corrected - handguns ! Firearms are not illegal, so now, according to interviewees in the Chron, SF folks will be buying shotguns.

From my prior post, you learn that I think it's ludicrous to ban firearm ownership. But I'm not a zealot. If you listen to the pro-handgun folks in the Chron interview, they're all afraid every bandit in the country is going to visit their house, now that they know they're defenseless. Izzat so? Do these people have basements full of gold bullion ? Sounds to me like they're a bit paranoid ! If there's one thing worse than a fool with a gun, it's a paranoid fool with a gun.
