	Bruce, I'm not going to get into this thread ebcause I've
	been through it so many times before in other places.  But
	I will say that this has been proven so so completely in so
	many ways that a little research will provide you with all
	the relevant data you could possibly ever want.  FBI Uniform
	Crime Reports show a clear and steady drop in violent crime
	that is statistically very significant, particularly since
	we have plateued at 32 states with concealed and open carry.

	The stats for Oz, GB, Japan, etc, are also readily available.
	Their crime rates are going through the roof.  My friend
	Michael Lawrie lives in London and has attested to me that
	the tighter the government has clamped down on firearms
	ownership, the worse the crime rate has become, particularly
	those committed with guns.

	If the issue is sufficiently interesting to you, do some web
	research and you will find a great abundance of information.

	That's all I wil say on this.
