Dear Ricky

This is a very good question. In reality, firepower can solve almost all of the problems that I can conceive of. The sollution might be a little messy and you have to have the stomach for them, but for the most part might CAN make right. Examples: 1. If you have the stomach of Hitler and at least the brains of Michael Savage, then you (from my perspective) I could eliminate most wars and fighting by simply eradicating all muslims, the Chinese and the Russians while I had the chance. As long as you posess superior technology, you can allways destroy your enemies. Genocide is nothing new. In fact, we are the decendants of the race of huminoids that invented genocide. Our ancient ancestors completely eradicated the Neanderthals of Asia and Europe. The Neanderthals were stronger than our ancestors, and even had slightly bigger brains. But, they had technology on their side, and thus were able to eliminate their competitors permanantly from the Universe. 2. Now, can a bigger gun help a man in procreation. SURE! You may not like the idea of rape, but an armed man with no conscience can rape unarmed women and force them to have their child. 3. Procurment of food: Well, there's nothing new about hunting animals for food and other useful products. 4. Shelter: Can a bigger gun procure shelter for you? SURE! Just go take the un-armed person's house from him, and you have shelter. It's really that simple. So, what can laws do that a bigger gun can't do?

But what if the other person gets a bigger gun than yours?

You must remember this: LAWZ NEEDZ GUNZ! I'm not promoting this, just noticing, that's all.

This question reminds me of those advertisements you see in the paper "all your problems solved with a penis extension" It's the men with the small peepees who seek bigger, better and larger - cars, guns, dicks - you get the drift.

John Howard: "Withered Old Floppy is good enough for me!"

It makes no difference WHO has the bigger gun, just that someone does hava a bigger one and is not shy of using it. The "problem" (whatever it may be) will still be solved - it's just that you may not be on the happier end of the solution. Remember, the question posed is whether a bigger gun can solve the problem. The answer is that it can. All problems hava a solution; all questions have an answer. It's just that you might not like the solution, or be capable of finding the answer.

John Howard doesn't like private guns therefore I should like private guns.
Fault that line of thinking!
