I have, on occasion, joked about you can have all the guns if I keep all
the ammo. I hope all of you know that I'm just joking when I say that.
There are some people who should not be allowed to own guns, but you don't
have a mental illness that makes you a danger to yourself or the public nor
are you an ex con whose parole is contingent on you not having one. *I*
should not own a gun. Most of the time I'm perfectly fine, but those
occasional Eleanor Rigby days could, if I thought it would be quick, be
disastrous for me to have.  :)

PS: while I occasionally think about it, I'm too big a coward to actually
follow through with it, so worry not.
