THAT quote is priceless!   I've never heard that before, but it sure
puts personal firearm ownership in the true perspective. What a piece
of work Franklin was. He just HAD to be an alien visitor to this
planet.

I'm not sure where you got your information about the decrease in
personal firearm ownership but I've read articles that say that since
the firearm confiscation that happened during Katrina, that national
firearm ownership has increased and that some states have instituted
laws that ban confiscation during an emergency.  I don't know what the
source was tho.
