Just as sort of a follow-up I happened to be watching Don Imus on cable at about 04:20 MST today. He had Dick Cavett on the phone and they were discussing the very article to which Mr. Sabato has provided the link. Interestingly enough, the first subject discussed by Imus / Cavett was gun control as it would pertain to lugers. Both of them were in agreement that the luger should be exempt from any gun regulations that may come out of this. Imus stated that the luger pistol is considered by many to be a work of art and a tribute to German engineering and far more than simply a pistol. Cavett was in total agreement. They both alluded to having heard numerous stories from Veterans who wanted to grab a luger, considering it the ultimate souvenir. Although neither of them currently own a luger, they both exhibited and appreciation of the gun and its place in the history of firearms.
