   Sorry for interfering in the discussion. But I have an American friend. He    
   has a lot of legal firearms. And there are many like him in America. He is a    
   war veteran and does not like communists. I think you'll have to ask these    
   guys to clean up your streets if the gangs get bold. No one can offend    
   Americans in America as long as you have "Rednecks" with basements full of    
   weapons. Just give them a call. I think you will be happy with the results.
