 ST> His notion that Sears sells handguns really just displays his

I think it really embarrasses him that it was our *use* of guns 
which freed his family from Hitler's clutches.  He doesn't know 
how to express gratitute so he does the opposite -- pretends 
there's no need ...

 ST> So what?  That wus wouldn't
 ST> know  what to do with a gun if it was handed to him fully loaded. 

I suppose if he were to be handed a loaded gun it would scare the 
hell out of him.  In fact I'd not advise doing that.  He might 
shoot himself accidentally.

 ST> "Our" country  was founded by people who VIOLENTLY overthrew the
 ST> British ruling government  with GUNS.  So, we thoughtfully put an
 ST> article in our constitution that  allows us to continue to arm
 ST> ourselves.  If he doesn't like it, then he can  stay over there in
 ST> never-Netherlands where the people inject themselves with  nationally
 ST> sanctioned heroin needles. We'll continue to enjoy our freedom  why he
 ST> sits over there and complains about it. 

It's better that he not have to face an armed citizenry.

 ST> That being stated, we do have a gun problem in our inner cities -- and
 ST> we do  need to do something about it -- but -- totally banning them is
 ST> out of the  question.

That *is* a problem -- and I don't know the solution.

 ST> Good, then perhaps those pictures will keep him scared and away from

Good point!
