Completely agree, Thumper. Even though I have not yet been trained in firearms, I am a student of history (even got my degree in it over two decades ago!), and appreciate how not only did the widespread availability of arms ensure the British were defeated during the American Revolutionary War, but also dissuaded both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union from envisaging an invasion of the United States. It is a strategy that is being increasingly deployed in the Ukraine against Russian aggression and will be part and parcel of what keeps that country and its people free and independent. -=- Kaelon -=- kaelon@kaelon.com -=- --- þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net .
