Colin Greenwood Quote

"No matter how one approaches the figures, one is forced to the rather startling conclusion that the use of firearms in crime was very much less when there were no controls of any sort and when anyone, convicted criminal or lunatic, could buy any type of firearm without restriction.... Half a century of strict controls on pistols has ended, perversely, with a far greater use of this class of weapon in crime than ever before."

Now there is a figure that the government's 4th branch (media) won't publish.  -- Mike, Norwalk
Right again Mike, The media won't publish what the FBI and local Police Departments already know...armed law abiding citizens automatically create a safer more polite society. But that leaves the Government and other bed wetters without the power and control they crave.  -- J Carlton, Calgary
