	You missed my point!!!!!!

	Imagine this guy driving his tractor-trailer down an
	Xpressway, tries to load(if thats what its called)
	his bow and arrow, aim, and shoot at a van. Come
	on, give me a break...
	(substitute sling-shot, dart-blower or any other
	  types of hand-type weapon in place of bow and arrow.)

	Seem that the handgun has become (or always was)
	a neat, easily concievable, easy to use weapon.
	Suppose someone was planning to use a handgun
	to commit some crime. Any crime will do.
	Now take away his handgun. How fast will he
	go running to find a bow and arrow, sling-shot,
	or other type weapon to commit that same crime?

	I still believe that if the salesman didn't have
	access to a handgun, things wouldn't have turned
	out the way they did.

	Yes, the potential bank robber wil find something
	else to use in his plot but I for one would rather
	try dodging anything other then a bullet!!!!
