Yeah, while there's a lunatic fringe scattered around the US who think 
they are in the Wild West, most people in favour of gun-ownership don't 
-- even the people who are in the "gunrack in the pickup" demographic 
don't think they're in the Wild West.

I think the UK's gun regulations are a bit extreme, but the US's are a 
bit too liberal.  The whole issue over there (in the US) has become way 
too politicized, to the point where no one who might want to propose 
sensible legislation can.  If there's something good to come out of this 
tragedy, hopefully it's that moves debate on the gun issue in the US 
back into slightly more productive areas.

Right, that's me done with this off-topic issue!  Anyone else got the 
new Alan Davey yet? :)

Cheers,
Carl
