The situation is not as bad as you think, Rik. I grepped; the Documentation

fix these references would not be large.
-- <a href="http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/">Eric S. Raymond</a>...Virtually never are murderers the ordinary, law-abiding people against whom gun bans are aimed. Almost without exception, murderers are extreme aberrants with lifelong histories of crime, substance abuse, psychopathology, mental retardation and/or irrational violence against those around them, as well as other hazardous behavior, e.g., automobile and gun accidents." -- Don B.
