	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.
