Ern, you've guessed wrong and don't get to buy a vowel. <g>

Look at the UK. To describe thier gun laws as "tight" is like saying that
a magnisium flare is "hot". From what I've read, a lot of the guns they
are finding are comming in from other parts of the world.
Germany is a little looser, but they have some much ordinance comming in
from all over, that they have people dropping the eqiuvelent of ten bucks
on a hand grenade, going into church, and reducing themsleves to
extra-chunky/extra-crispy style meat by products.
Hog Kong is real restrictive, and they had weapons come in quite
frequently, either left overs from the actions in SEAsia or from China. I
ahven't seen figures for thier crime rates in the post consolidation era.
