I think Ford own a controlling share in Mazda anyway..

At the end of the day, most of the money you guys spend on imported goods is probably coming back to you one way or another.

Except perhaps for China.

I read somewhere this quote. "An armed society is a polite Society". Apparently in Geuda Springs, KS, they have taken that quote to heart.

On a related note, Maine only requires handgun purchasers to be 18 years of age with no criminal records. No registration is required either

On a totally unrelated note, I'm going up to Kittery Trading Post this weekend.

Yeah, we like our weapons up here. There's a lot of guns in Maine. But oddly, criminal usage is almost non-existent. A few folks get popped occaisionally by an angry spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend, but not many. 7 murders by guns in 2001.

And I read that in Vermont, anyone of legal age can carry concealed without having to get a permit of any kind.

Unlike here in Kentucky where you have to go to a class and range to qualify, which I actually think is a better idea.

11000 Americans are murdered with guns in America every year.
Other Developed countries have around 100 a year.
Why is this? Attitude towards guns and people?

11000 is 3 times the amount of people killed in 9-11.

Well, it turns out that you can't purchase handguns in any state other than your own.

But, I just so happen to have a couple friends in Maine...


And don't start with Michael Moore's BS statistics.
