 Hi Black,

 Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with the American Constitution
 but unless something is done to regulate and reduce the number of guns
 in circulation, then you are locked in a catch 22 situation.

 If you have a legitimate need to have a weapon and are a mentally fit person
 to have one then have one, as it should be used responsibly. I appreciate
 that this is an emotive subject for you, but how else would you remove
 weapons from the hands of the criminal, and kids on the street?

 By the way I do live in England, and yes guns are available, but the
regulations
 are much stricter, and you need to be licenced. This is why there are less
 firearms incidents here. And yes I am in favour of arming police officers
 in this country.

 Off subject slightly, where is this echo located in the states? Is it part of
 the FidoNet set up?

 Also do any of you use Commodore Amigas stateside??

 Best wishes

Steven McGovern
