PN>GIVE ME A GUN FOR PROTECTION
PN>by Mantosh Singh Devji, Special for The Arizona Republic,
PN>Sunday, May 5, 1996, page H3

PN>                                  The instant background
PN>        checks that the NRA supports is one way to slow the flow of
PN>        weapons to those who have proven that they are incapable of
PN>        handling them responsibly, as is the background check and
PN>        certification required for a concealed weapons permit in this
PN>        state. 
              It must be noted, however, that the portion of the
PN>        population most likely to use a gun in a criminal manner is the
PN>        segment least likely to get a permit or go through a background
PN>        check.
In light of the sentiment expressed in the latter paragraph, that of the 
former creates a confusing paradox in the author's thinking.  Such 
dichotomies are ripe for would be tyrants to capitalize on.
