lol.

To India: Not a bad idea, but it could use some thought. Instead of getting to your gun licence quicker, one could get certain benefits, like a monthly pension special for them, etc. It would create less killing, and would acually help the citizens of India.

Or perhaps a little education to prove the benefits of not having too many children and that having live spermatazoa in your ballbags has very little to do with being a man.

Maybe especially being Catholic, this AP headline seems more than a bit ironic:

Pope tells Irish bishops to be honest over scandal

You think the Pope should remind them not to steal as well?

I've noticed a couple salesmen that use the verbal device, "to be honest with you" as a prelude to a true statement.

They should know that when you do that, it makes one wonder if everything else they've said was untrue.

Perhaps the Indians think giving more guys guns would increase killing. Their population control. Just a speculation.

I used to work with an Indian engineer that told me getting a gun was no problem. But the government strictly controlled ammo, and you had to account for what you shot at, to get more.

That reminds me of the Chris Rock bit about bullet control.

"All bullets should cost 5000 dollars.

Cause if a bullet costs 5000 dollars
there'd be no more innocent bystanders.
That'd be it.
Every time someone gets shot, people will
be like, 'Damn, he must have did something.
Shit, they put $20000 worth of bullets
in his ass.'
People would think before
they killed somebody, if a bullet cost 5000 dollars.
'Man, l would blow your fucking head off,
if l could afford it.
l'm gonna get me another job,
l'm gonna start saving some money...and you're a dead man.
You better hope I can't get no bullets on layaway'"
