But what good is a handgun? After all, what do you do if a whole bunch of those creeps attack you to steal your money any rape your wife and kick your dog and teach your kids evolution in school? Even with an hour of target practice a day, you could only pick off 2 or 3 of those rapists and murderers and communists before they were on you. You need some thing bigger. More powerful. So I think it is about time us honest god-fearing loyal patriotic hard-working citizens were allowed to carry small personal tactical nukes to protect our homes and families. Do you think some dirty smelly hippy is going to get close to you if you show hime your PTN? No way! He'll run back to his hole and you will never have to worry. And the same goes for even a gang of them. One PTN could clean out a whole city block! If we are ever going to have a safe and peaceful and just society, we have got to go for the nukes. Remember: Nukes don't kill people, people kill people << P-) OFF >> Boy, am I ever glad I live in Canada, where it is much harder for nitwits and loonys of all sorts to get guns. Marc Majka
