We've already posted several articles for you on that....from
LONDON newspapers.

That's why, in 1940, the American people had to donate their own rifles
and ammunition supplies to the British citizenry...because too many
British
consider defending one's self to be a fate *worse* than death.

That must by why your firearm homocide rate has TRIPLED since the
handgun
ban....not to mention the increase in beatings, and attacks with blunt
objects like cricket bats, and knifings.

Sure, why not.
Gun control is based on two principles:
1) Class warfare (the elite against the common man)
2) Racism (first thing the southern states did after the Civil War was
to pass laws making it illegal for blacks to own guns).

How about, instead of participating in a "flame war", be a bit more
civil have a rational debate.
No one will flame you if you disagree with them, but are very civil
about it.
I have a very good example on a mailing list I'm on.
There is a big debate going on
It's quite obvious from the length of your signature that you aren't
trying to be civil.
Here's step #1 to becoming a better person:
Remove your signature.

I'm not concerned about the guns...I'm asking about why there is an
dramatic INCREASE in shooting victims showing up at the morgue since
the hand-gun ban.
now, the question is:
If the purpose of the handgun ban was to LOWER the murder rate,
then quite obviously, it's not working.
On the other hand, if the handgun ban was to keep criminals from
owning handguns,...that's not working either (according to the
London police, as documented in the London Telegraph)...
But if the purpose of the handgun ban is to keep law-abiding
citizens from defending themselves from attack....*then* it
is a VERY successful law.
And we all know (England, Russia, Germany, China, Japan), what
happens when the government turns rogue and starts attacking
the citizenry.
Remember the story of Robin Hood. Robin's men were outlaws because
they were mere commoners in posession of bows and arrows...in defiance
of Little Johns "bow and arrow control" laws.
Of course, the fact that Little John's purpose for making such laws
was so that he could oppress the people is insignificant...right?

The General in charge will get reamed up the ass some day.
The military is VERY harsh on high-ranking officers who fuck things
up. Maybe not immediately...but as soon as the failure happens, and
the post-mortem analysis is done (and the military ALWAYS does
post-mortem analysis of system failures)....the fingers will be
pointing at the men who chose to use Windows....and the General
who approved it.

British refuse to take self-defense seriously
That's why you have a handgun ban.
That's why, in WW2, American citizens donated their privately-owned,
household firearms to Britain to defend the beaches against an
invasion by the Germans...
[Fortunately, Germany never manufactured proper landing craft to do so,
or you all might be speaking German to this very day].

So you have deliberately changed the printer name from
the default of "lp" to "Epson", an unconventional device
name, to say the least.
Having changed the default, you are in effect saying
"I know what I'm doing, I know it's a strange device
name but I have a good reason for changing it and
I am prepared to make all neccessary adjustments
to deal with the consequences".
If in fact you have no clue what you're doing, it's
you who are to blame, and nobody else.

You've said this before. What's wrong with Godwin? What did he ever do
to you? Are you under the mistaken apprehension that Godwin's Law is a
binding rule of netiquette?

No one inside your firewall portscans?
Not all threats live outside the firewall.

And an excellent question, too -
The last brute force queso tests I've seen have
Linux with a very healthy percentage of the web
server market.
