I agree the alcohol factor is probably often overlooked. <br /><br />Mike W., I don't think anyone is saying licensing and registration would prevent any specific incident. Why do you keep asking questions like that? You continually put words in the mouths of others and then argue against those words as if the others said them.<br /><br />I believe full licensing and registration along with background checks on all transfers would eliminate much of the easy flow of guns into the criminal world.

These three countries would interesting to study due to their similarity in (socialist) government models and cultures but differing in the control of alcohol and firearms. <br />Norway for example regulates alcohol usage due to the drug being a depressant. With the long winter and lack of sunshine, people are prone to be a little less happy. SAD is known as seasonal affected disorder. <br /><br />For comparison, it would be very interesting to find a similar town or city in Alaska and compare the data with Alaska having more guns and more alcohol. <br /><br />In all these discussions, the variable of alcohol needs to be remembered. <br />Just my two-euro cents (finish currency) worth of political analysis on the posting.Il Principehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002800517118623115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-64763745946194577522010-01-02T03:05:28.113+01:002010-01-02T03:05:28.113+01:00Aztec Red:
