2. Iceland's population and crime statistics mirror that of the state of Maine who's population is 1.25M with a 96.9% caucasian population. Maine has a lower homicide rate. About 1.5 a year vs. 3 a year in Iceland.

3. Maine's constitution flat out prohibits the infringement of it's citizens right to keep and bare arms.

4. Mixed cultural\race populations have high crime rates. Homogenius populations have low crime rates. As you go south from the state of Maine the crime rates increase as the homogenious population percentage decreases. If you apply a microscope to the states south of Maine you will find those increases in crime rate are found in high population areas. Large cities with diverse non-homogenius populations. You also find a disproportinate number of crime types are commited by noncaucasians against noncaucasians.

Angus, again, any comment on this? Especially #2; it would seem Maine is safer than Iceland.

What if there was suddenly a rash of crimes committed with golf clubs?

Clubs are inherently weapons after all, yet it so happens that there is a very popular sport fashioned around them.  Would it be right to scream for heavy regulation of these sporting goods because some people are irresponsible with theirs?  Would we need to give up anything that even resembles a club so that we can be sure we ourselves won't commit a crime with it?

I'd love to see a bunch of golf nuts freak out when their sport was pulled out from under them, but that would be wrong too.
