I don't think it is any secret that professions involving burglary, rape, assault, or other violent activities have their risks.

I have many firearms and have not found any of them, nor the ammo that they use, to be virulent in any way. Now that could change should a scumbag try to assault me or my family.
Hey, I've got a great idea... instead of outlawing guns and bullets, let's try making it a crime to thieve, rape, or assault.
Oh wait. It already is a crime.
I'd like to see John "Ghengis Khan" Kerry get this treatment. Nothing but a scum-sucking coward.
