Well from my point of view it is them who has an image problem. That was one
of the main reasons that I made the post.

Well thats pretty simple. Guns in the hands of the criminal and the weak
minded is a problem now. Hence it should be adressed now. The other
_possible_ threats wil have to be dealed with when they become a real.
Unless there are direct comments to me I will stop answering to the gun
debate. Apparantly that is the only way to improve the S/N ratio in that
regard.
