Zero, you win the Extropian award for open minded thinking and
reporting today.
Keep up the good work, we'll have you as a member (NRA) yet.
Here's a thought: "Why is it that in Chicago handgun crime is
fairly common despite the fact that they banned handguns over 18
years ago, yet the surrounding suburbs where handguns are legal
have almost no handgun crime?"
