There is better engineering in many guns than there is is most Leicas. The fact that they can be used to kill people is incidental. My one time mentor, Life photographer Yale Joel, told me that a camera swung around on a neck strap makes a dandy mace to fight your way out of unruly crowds. By the way Rabe, my rantings pale in comparison to yours. You are truly the rant meister of the LUG. http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/family.asp?webflag_=022B I respect Tina's position. I, too would have been furious at people who treated weapons so casually and would have left the room myself. I stand by my opinion that Tina' picture does not measure up to her usual excellent standards. Given her emotional state I'm surprised that she managed to press the shutter at all. Owning a gun is a great responsibility. Like getting behind the wheel of a much more lethal automobile and driving it at speeds of over 100 kph. As for many of the rest of you, I am appalled that you let your political position get in the way of your esthetic and rational judgment. Stick to photography guys. Larry Z
