Please re-read what I said until you comprehend it.

Comprehension isn't one of Mixi's strong points.

Mixi doesn't have ANY strong points.


Well, he locks himself in a cupboard most of the time, so that's a good
thing.


Do you think he has strong points on his cupboard/cockpit door to prevent
hijacks?

Send your stale French bread to Mixi. He needs every crumb he can get.


Crumbs are all he can eat. He hasn't room to make sandwiches.

About the only thing worse than reading some of Mixi's posts is
having to read followups like these.

Following up to Hackamore

in the UK the innocent subjects are unarmed, only the criminals are armed.

that's why you have lots of "hot" home burglaries and the US doesn't


in which country do more innocent people get shot?


"innocents" per capita.... that'd be a hard one to figure.

I know lots of the "sweet innocent boys" that get shot in drive bys HERE
are out on the corner selling crack cocaine... so they're not so innocent.

Presumably mass murder is already illegal, but that didn't stop this person.

I've never pictured Finland as a place where people own handguns to begin
with. Is this common? What are the requirements for buying and owning a
handgun today?


today it's far easier for a young person to buy a handgun than in the US.

I believe the minimum age is 15... in the US it's 21 along with a
criminal and mental background check.

If we go by what the papers write, only saints are killed by crime and
accidents.

You mean only criminals and loonies can get a gun? That explains a lot.
