Peter:  I think any Scotch is too much scotch... Maybe I'm just a wimp, but I can't handle that stuff.  I agree finding any compromise re: gun safety is really difficult.  There are folks who think the answer is to confiscate all firearms...there are others who oppose any increased "control" because they truly believe the "slippery slope" argument.  Then there are folks who really would like to find some middle ground leading to enhanced safety.....and with the shouting coming from both extremes, that's very hard to do.  regards, Gary crum
