You are missing the point about "fundamental rights". A "fundamental right" in this context is a natural Human right and therefore by definition is not something which is limited by politcal or governmental boundries. So saying "a fundamental right in some countries" does not make sense in the given context.

The statement "if guns were illegal, criminals would still own them because they have no respect for the law now." stands alone irrespective of political boundries. Even in countries where they are entirely illegal, criminals still own them.

The addition of "in the U.S." did not apply to either of the two statements mentioned above and for that reason I took them out.

Adding funny comments is appropriate in some environments, at not in others. Generally, adding them to an article is considered vandalism in wikipedia.

I didn't add that link, I just reverted to a previous state where that article was included. I have only been to the site once and that was to verify that the stated article existed. There were other articles on the site, but the previous editor had only linked the "racist roots of gun control" article. Rearden9 17:01, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
