  20. I think you have it somewhat askew. Somalia amply demonstrates what 
  21. happens to an unarmed and defenseless populalace when only the
  22. criminally motivated have guns. If there were a "wide distribution of guns"
  23. then no one would be standing around while bandits stole food out of
  24. their chidren's mouths.
