And how! Obviously not 400,000 since the population of Australia
isn't as much as the US. If we make it proportionate to the size of
the population that would be 25,000 lives saved by guns in Australia
if only we had the enlightened US gun laws. We could decrease the
number of homicides to 25,000 less than the present 350. Then we
would have... um help me here Pat, how many homicides?

We don't have a valid Constitution?? Can you tell me how it is invalid?
