    As a side note,Read an interesting stat yesterday,in 2008 there were 12,000 gun related homicides in the U.S,in the same year 11 total in Japan.
    How many of those 12,000 were gang related? Is it better to have a gun related homicide or a knife related homicide?
    Japan also had zero theft related crimes after the tsunami, while New Orleans, the east coast, pick your disaster in the US, continue to see looting after every disaster.
    Is it really the guns or is it the lack of ethics?

    Meanwhile, Mexico, which has very strict gun control laws, had over 50,000 gun related homicides last year. Go figure.

    Check the murder rates in Chicago and DC, both of which pretty much ban personal firearm ownership.

    Gentlemen, as per the SRP rules, let's confine our discussion of 'gun control' to sight alignment and trigger control ........ ........

    Here are a few of my arsenal (Sig Sauer P229 [9mm] and Ruger SR 1911 CMD not in picture). The Beretta Nano probably sees the most use, S&W 442 is a close second, but the recently acquired P229 might take over that slot sooner than later.

    So the wife took an all women's hand gun shooting class,put on by the NRA. And she comes home all smiles and had a very fun time shooting the .22 hand guns. I asked..what kind of handguns did you shoot ? She said, a Sig Sauer, a Browning , and an S&W Model 18-4 . she told me she hit everything with that S&W. So I join a S&W forum to get the skinny on this gun.All the comments were that my wife had "good taste ". Now I know why...you can't touch those guns for under 650.00 used....But you know " Happy Wife..Happy Life"...it should be here by Tuesday...LOL...
