Sorry, I missed something.  Last I looked this was posted to net.rec and 
net.politics, not net.spelling_and_punctuation.  If you have something useful
to add that is relevant to the conversation then by all means, please
comment.  If not, then dont.  Switching topics to prove your point doesnt
really hack it.

Back to the issue at hand.  The belief that gun control will keep guns out
of the hands of burglers and others who knowingly violate the law is more
then naieve.  Do drug control laws keep drugs off the streets ?
Does outlawing something already used for illegal purposes ever have an
effect?  If you can think of any cases where this has ever worked I
would be interested in hearing about them.

To Mr Bermes:
	Sorry I dont have the time to pipe everything I write through
spell.  Perhaps if you would pipe everything you read through a spelling
checker/corrector first it would save you much aggrevation.

P.S	I dont own a gun and never have.  I am also a college grad.
