    Not that many years back I worked with a man from India that was in the United States on a work permit. He was amazed by how easy it was to purchase a firearm in this Country and said it was not a widely permitted freedom in India.

    I asked him then who has firearms in India. He laughed and said “The police, the military, and the criminals.”.

    After reading some of the posts by my fellow gun-owners on this site (not you Kerm)..I’m thinking the Indians are on to something.

    Maybe we should try it here, except dole out lobotomies in addition to the vasectomies!!

    That way they wouldn’t be shooting each other out of trees any more!
