They hold vigils and teach-ins in Laramie, a town searching its soul, but some people climb the hill as if there is something to confront up there. They go to where a small basket of dry flowers hangs from the fence where Shepard, 21, was tied with rope, pistol-whipped and left in the cold. The visitors arrive in silence and leave in prayer, and the vigils go on--in Laramie, in Denver, in San Francisco, in Washington...
...rifles, revolvers and semi-automatics. Wolf's also sells guns; prices vary considerably depending on the model. A Glock will run you $525, a Colt rifles $450, and you can pick up a nice Luger for $325. If you've got a trenchcoat, you needn't go for the pistol: you can get a sawed-off shotgun for $199. If semi-auto seems weak to you, fully automatic spray machine guns can be rented for $20 per halfhour. Any handgun can be used in the range, including the fearsome .44 Magnum full metal jacket...

...violent crime through conventional means. But that does not justify making guns more easily available. Owning a hunting rifle, securely storing it in separate pieces well away from children and using it only to shoot a yearly quota of deer is quite different from carrying a loaded 9-mm pistol in a shoulder holster for the drive to work. Parents who introduce their children to guns may first want to take them down to the morgue and show them the bullet-riddled body of the latest gunfire victim. CLAES NORELL London
