We have WoT Operations and WoT Politix, but as hard as I look, we don't have WoT Humor.
KARACHI - The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) has demanded de-weaponisation of the entire country, maintaining that the spread of weapons has added to the crime rate in the country.

Speaking to reporters, senior leader of the MQM, Farooq Sattar, said a draft bill seeking de-weaponisation of the entire has been submitted by his party with the National Assembly secretariat.

Sattar said the MQM envisaged a complete ban on the illegal manufacturing and trafficking of weapons in the country. He said the party would also present its bill in the Senate and appealed to all parties to support the legislation, adding that it would enable parliament to play its due role in preventing spread of arms and gun culture that was threatening the very fabric of the nation.

#5  Heh heh, I was watching what many consider the best news on TV late last weekend when this flip on a panal could not understand how somebody could both own a gun and be against violence. Grumbled out loud, "You dumb sob, a person doesn't get EMT training then hope for car wrecks."

#4  Actually, not a bad idea on the part of the Pakis. Too bad the REAL solution would be a Second Amendment that applies to members of non-Muslim religions.
