Re: guns

Here in the UK handguns are banned. In London last year there were 32 
murders (which is very low for a city of London's size) and only 2 of those 
were gun-related (therefore drug-related). I think the numbers speak for 
themselves. Children will keep on dying needlessly until you understand that 
thinking of gun ownership as a constitutional right denies the human right 
to life for all of us.
