Mike Petrucelli talked about the possibility of using a gun to shoot a
politician who was threating to take away his freedom. (If I
understood him correctly.) I don't have any statistical data for
this, but I have a feeling that this kind of terrorist activity is
typically done with weapons other than guns. Bombs, for example. So
I don't fully understand the "hang up" on hand guns.
