Nothing really necessary. You forgot a reason: defense of your life and the lives of those you love. This may not be a reason that would interest you, or even one that you agree a gun is usfull for in the scenerios that you can imagine, but you have to aknowledge that it is an important use. It is the primary use for most people. Not quite "nothing really necessary", or something that can be glossed over. > (3) I'm from Germany. We have TIGHT gun control. We also don't >have a police that's outgunned with their 9mm pistols. It feels, and >statistically is, a LOT safer. Unless you're a Turk or a Jew right? We read about what happens to the "unwelcome" in your country. When the skinhead welcome wagon kicks down the door to your appartment in Germany, how the police are armed has nothing to do with anything, because you're never going to see the police. The safety of your family is determined only by one thing: the actions that you take over the next five minutes. This all that ever determines your safety in the long run. Followup-to the one group where this is appropriate, please. Jim D
