  While I generally agree with Jeff on the handgun *control* issue, his belief
that a burglar would not have a handgun with stricter controls is a bit naive.
This certainly does not warrant the label of "idiot". Especially when this 
label comes from someone with the spelling and punctuation skills of Mike 
Schloss (note above paragraph). Maybe if he had taken the time to get an
education rather than playing with his guns.....
