Before Tony B liar  gun act more people were killed with cars I do not see 
him taking  peoples cars oh no siree bob far tooo much money involved there.
	Guns had no money in it for big business just old soldiers keeping our hand 
in.so poof no guns for those who served their country (or someone elses) but 
criminals know now the chance of some honest citizen shooting back is almost 
nil, so guns are flavour of the month, every low life who wanted to be "bad" 
has one just show how bad he is.

as to encryption I send encrypted stuff to the west indies  just so as the 
corrupt officials over there cannot read it and my business stays out of 
their slimey grip
