Fortunately, jesus wasn't a christian, so the question of whether he
would approve of such stupidity is...moot. :)

Herr Krause. Why do you claim these congregationalists actions are
stupid? Possibly because you have no church to sport your 9mm pistol?

I do believe the OP is correct, in as much as you're countries
citizens did carry their fire arms to any place they went, even into
the Houses of the Lord. So why should such actions be objectionable to
you?

I do believe you owe me a new keyboard - and maybe even a monitor.

Yes, high level gun crime by the gun (usually obtained stolen or
black market) owning criminal.

Not by the law abiding citizen..

I wonder if those critics think there may be a relationship between
the number of auto accidents and the number of auto drivers.

How perspicacious of them!

Lots of guns are bought at "loophole" gun shows in states like Virginia,
and in the transactions no identities or paperwork change hands. Too bad
the trails of those guns cannot be properly followed.

Or, classically:

If you examine the records of the city of Copenhagen for the ten or
twelve years following World War II, you will find a strong positive
correlation between (i) the annual number of storks nesting in the
city, and (ii) the annual number of human babies born in the city.
Jump too quickly to the assumption of a causal relationship, and you
will find yourself saddled with the conclusion either that storks
bring babies or that babies bring storks.

An awful lot of criminals buy guys in bulk quantities in virginia at the
dozens of guns shows held there each month. No paperwork, no IDs, just
money for guns.

I really do think you have a point. I never looked at it that way,

Sorry John, the way that Google is set up, I was thinking that I was
responding to Gene's post instead of yours.

But either way, I believe you two are correct.
