OT: Re: [asterisk-biz] New E911 Bill Will Try to become Law

[Moshe Maeir]

Title: Moshe Maeir

hmmm - you forced me - The people who  kill obviously do not care about little things like legality, the objective of gun control is to limit the amount of guns available to potential murderers. Whereas  the proposed 911 law just reinforces the existing fcc regulation. If I am wrong - please correct me off list.   Dean Collins wrote: Oh Wow Moshe, you should really try reading.   It made sense.  Regards, Dean From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Moshe Maeir Sent: Wednesday, 31 January 2007 5:51 PM To: Commercial and Business-Oriented Asterisk Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-biz] New E911 Bill Will Try to become Law   I didn't know that this was a gun forum, so lets close this topic... unless you want me to explain why your statement is not logical :-) Lacy Moore - Aspendora wrote: It's like gun control, it's illegal to kill someone (in most cases), but yet, Congress seems to want to continue passing gun control laws.
