Thurman, James N. Disconnect between Gun Crime and Gun-Control Laws. The Christian Science Monitor, May 19, 1999, p. 2. Suggests that the most popular proposals among gun control activists bear little relationship to the actual problem of gun-related crime. Neither foreign-made assault weapons nor high-capacity clips play much role in crime, which generally involves ordinary U.S.-made revolvers and pistols. Some gun control advocates believe systematic product regulation for all firearms would be a more effective approach. 

Individual variation of normal placenta occurs, and various conditions can cause placental dysfunction. For instance, processc.s such as intrauterine growth retardation (lUGR) cause increased apoptosis and possible changes in the structure of the placenta (Merchant ef al., 2004). Much mure research and development are needed before the placental functions can be controlled during such situations. Placenta, with its hormonal and xenobiotic metabolism, putative storage capacity of foreign compound.s (Aia-Kokko er al 2000), and rather poorly characterized extensive transport system, is an important target of studies.
