Instead of trying to get guns banned why dont you just make < burglery illegal, then he wouldnt be there in the first place. Or, < if you dont want to take away his livlihood, just make murder illegal < and you wouldnt have to worry about anyone being killed. 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..... Terry Bermes
