180. actually, there's an old saying...
Edited on Wed Jan-07-04 02:59 PM by DoNotRefill
that says "God created man. Colonel Colt made all men equal."

Guns are useful to allow the weak to defend themselves against the strong.

A woman weighing 110 pounds wouldn't stand much of a chance if attacked by a 300 pound biker if she was unarmed, and he was unarmed too, would she?

A gun can be an equalizer, enabling the weak to meet the strong on almost even terms instead of grossly unequal terms.
