You've hit the universal and proverbial "nail" on the head, Woody, with your use of the word "dunderhead".
The world is full of them. They are everywhere. They will never go away because God, in his infinite wisdom (which is not for us to question), gave them the ability to procreate. And the "dunderhead' factor that you speak of, is also inclined to make them procreate excessively.
Given this, the ratio of "dunderhead" to "non-dunderhead" increases exponentially as each generation passes.

I've said this before, and don't like to say say it, but it's the truth as I see it. We (in this forum) are of a quality (for want of a better word) that is found at the higher end of the intellect and nous scale. This may be because the pursuits that we choose are a little more involved and take a little more grey matter than the usual pursuits of Phonebox vandalism and Parked Car Chasing.
So, we will always be finding ourselves scratching our heads at the behaviors and attitudes of those who would spend their free hours arguing with a parrot.

I think Woodies idea does have some merit, a kind of Darwinian merit, but merit nevertheless.
However calibre of weapons should be relative to IQ, the more brains the bigger the gun. That should even things up a little and help to thin out the shallow end of the intellectual gene pool Grin

As fas as I can see my idea will have 2 possible outcomes.

1/ People will relise that they will get nothing but bullets shot at them for shooting some one and therefore people would be scared into not trying to start fire fights.

2/ All those who think that they now have a license to kill will be killed them selves within a few months and gun crimes would stop through having no one to commit them.

I think my career in the NHS would be over in a very, very short time. One night duty would wipe me out...

I think it would cause a massive increase in gang/mafia/organised crime activity. An individual would need allies to ensure that revenge would be forthcoming after his killing. This would be the only way to protect oneself from random slaying.

The bullet proof jacket industry would be well worth investing in......

Yes, I think the "gang mentality" would take over, Smokes. We are "pack" animals at heart, and when threatened we tend to congregate with our own kind for protection in numbers.
That would probably result in a number of small gang wars. The more intelligent of the species would seek alliances and try to form power bases with which to overcome or control the smaller, disorganised "rabble" gangs and soon we would have an ordered, civilised society again.
Then the whole thing would slowly degenerate, as it has, and the circle would start again.

There's a little too much chlorine in some of those gene pools, Ozzy. Grin
