Mike

I sleep well at night too. I feel safe, too. I am in California - Los
Angeles. I don't have a gun.

If we had gun control, the drive-by shooting that took place at the high
school down the street woould not have happened. It was a gang vendetta, but
three non gang members got shot.

Fortunately, Charleton Heston didn't come the next day - too close to home.

Have you seen "Bowling for Columbine?"

Not all deaths caused by guns aare inflicted by outlaws. I know.

Sonia,

Woodland Hills
