Although I tried twice to enlist, I was rejected both times because of a
knee injury suffered at age 14.
Whatever that has to do with anything I do not know.
(Long "what if" story snipped)
>>And all this time, I had the impression that you were in favor of gun
control.>>
Actually, I have no particular position on gun control. I have owned both a
22 rifle and two pistols, one an antique with sentimental value. When I gave
up target shooting, I sold the rifle. When I moved into civilization from a
very rural setting (50 years ago) I gave away the one pistol. The antique
pistol is still in the attic of a house I sold in 1968.
Gun control is one of the many ethical issues I have not studied, and so to
have a position on it, for or against, would not be seemly.
