| | Re: Handgun Death Rate

It may be more a function of the times. But then again, maybe it means the (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jul-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Using a gun in single-action mode (manually pulling back the trigger) is usually entirely (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

Inasmuch as the minority groups formed due to ostracism, and the "white" group is not forming for the same reason, I can see where McCelland's concern is coming from. It seems (...)
