news:3770872c-b8ef-4aa1-89e8- I understand completely that guns in
responsible hands are effective
The problem is that many guns are not in responsible hands.
Any solutions?

Call the FBI ?
A vehicle loaded with guns, ammunition and other crime-fighting gear
belonging to the Federal Bureau of Investigation was stolen from a motel
parking lot here on Monday night in a crime that threatens to be acutely
embarrassing to the agency.

The burned shell of the vehicle was found early today in an industrial area
of the city, according to John W. Hancock of the bureau's Memphis office.
Missing were about a dozen weapons, including M-16 rifles and a shotgun,
plus tear-gas equipment, ammunition, bulletproof vests, helmets and shields
with agency insignia, Mr. Hancock said.

Two of the guns were subsequently used in armed robberies, a third
apparently became a murder weapon after being stolen from the home of an FBI
agent in New Orleans.
Officials say the problem is the result of faulty paperwork.

Call the ATF ?

When the ATF came up short 152 firearms in one inventory, they simply erased
the weapons from their computer records without investigation, according to
an April 16, 1995, Gannett News Service report.
