<DIV>Hello, all. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I've been lurking on this list for quite a while now, but am finally moved to post by a topic of great import: New York State is absolutely no part of New England whatsoever. The third southern New England state isn't New York; it's Connecticut. Replacing Connecticut's crime rate with New York's makes me wonder about how accurate some of the other pro-gun stats are.... ;-)</DIV>

<DIV>Cheers,</DIV>
