*** Quoting Sheila King from a message to Kevin Crosby ***
SK> I am surprised at your statement "most households in this country own 
SK> a firearm". To my knowledge, I know no one who owns a gun. Do you 
SK> have a source to back upthis statistic?
I'll have to dig through my files section for the text file to get the exact 
report name and date, but it was a U.S.  Dept. of Justice report which stated 
that an estimated 68 million households in the U.S. had a firearm of some 
type.
-> BTW, for those not familiar with "Eddie Eagle", the program boils
-> down to "If you see a gun, don't touch, leave the area, tell a
-> responsible adult."
SK> Thanks for the synopsis. I would've had no idea otherwise.
Perhaps this points to the source of the problem....ever hear "guns kill" or 
"a child is killed by a handgun every xxx seconds"?  The emphasis seems to be 
on villifying the tool, not on education on proper and safe use of the tool.
