...foremost issue was Russia. At meetings with NATO partners in Brussels and with Central European leaders in Prague, the same worries emerged over and over. Would Russia backslide from reform and closer ties with the West? Would it reclaim its old sphere of influence in Central Europe? Indeed, Yeltsin looked with dismay at attempts of former East-bloc nations to join NATO. Why should they want to join? "Russia does not threaten any country in Central or Eastern Europe," he told TIME...

How hard it would be to reclaim many of those is evident from the few places already trying to spoon them up through gun buybacks or givebacks.

But buybacks tend to run out of steam and over budget. Minnesota's Hennepin County, which offered $50 a gun, spent more than $300,000 last year to collect...
