And, any morons that think all thinking nations with advanced democracies _severely_ limit or outright ban personal ownership of firearms because they believe it will _prevent_ firearm-related crime should go take a few basic reading and logic lessons. Well-enforced criminalization of (most) firearm ownership clearly reduces the threat to the population as a whole and all but eliminates the far from insignificant rate of "stupid gun accidents" that such backward countries as the United States suffer from. Why anyone would believe that "better gun education" might better improve that situation than enforced criminalization is beyond the ken of intelligent thought. Anyway, this whole sub-thread is entirely misplaced. I think you were all looking for the newsgroup: alt.silly.arguments.based.on.chronically.flawed.analogies Please -- anyone with an urge to further respond to "viruses are/are not like guns" debates -- take them somewhere else as they are all very old and have been shown, ad nauseum, to be very bogus.
