SIR: It was reported on October 17 that outlawed handguns may be sold to dealers abroad.
How responsible of the Government to allow the sale in another country of something they consider too dangerous for us to own.
Why stop at handguns when we could also dispose of all our unsafe children's toys, unroadworthy vehicles and unsafe electrical goods?
Apparently the Government feels the citizens of other countries are more fitted to have firearms than our own citizens, or perhaps they just don't care.
