Lines: 17 ** Several people have commented that the only use of handguns is for shooting people. Though others have pointed out that this is not true, what if it is? The articles from the Wall Street Journal I have been posting all show the same thing. Guns work as both a deterrent and as an equalizer. It is a postive aspect of handguns that they can be used against people. Most other animals get scared and run away if they know there are humans around anyway. The claim that handguns are only good for shooting people is not an argument against handguns in any way. -- scc!steiny Don Steiny - Personetics @ (408) 425-0382 ihnp4!pesnta -\ 109 Torrey Pine Terr. ucbvax!twg --> scc!steiny Santa Cruz, Calif. 95060 fortune!idsvax -/
