OK, I am facing something I have not faced before, so I thought I'd throw the situation on the board, and get some feedback..
I'm here in Taiwan, where recent outbreaks of SARS is getting worse and worse..
But in places like Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, etc.. Mass implimentation of draconian laws have stopped the spread of SARS..
Soo... Now I even have my AMERICAN friends saying, wow, they were right, if there is a joint effort to impliment draconian laws even for a short period of time, then it does work.. Flimsy laws doesn't work, what we need (and what they feel has been proven now) is that a swift blanket implimentation of Draconian laws is the solution..
So they (now think) that if the 2nd was pulled, and the military went door to door (Gestopal style) then we can in 1 month, get rid of the "gun problem" in America once and for all..
Of course, while 99.99999% of everybody agrees that getting SARS is a bad thing, and don't feel the same about guns, it doesn't seem to matter to the anti-gun crowd...
I tell them, that's an apple and oranges comparison, or rather a biology vs hardware arguement...
Anything else I should say?
