An armed society is a polite society

Ros Atkins Ros Atkins | 19:00 UK time, Friday, 31 August 2007

We're off air now, but you can listen again here.

That was what Rose from Virginia said around twenty minutes into yesterday's show. The effect was instant. We got more emails about that one comment than on all the other stories on the show. We were talking about the Virginia Tech massacre but Rose's point was a far broader one. You clearly wanted to talk about it, so today we will.

Would your country be a safer and more respectful place if everyone was armed? Here are today's other stories...

THE MOST POWERFUL WOMEN IN YOUR WORLD
Forbes magazine has put the German Chancellor Angela Merkel , but what about yours?

THE NEXT CARTOON ROW?
This is certainly shaping up that way. We're keeping a close eye on this one as the Danish cartoon row remains the biggest single story we've covered on WHYS. and let us know what you think.
Here's the story:

TEN YEARS WITHOUT DIANA
Though clearly her presence in the media has never gone away. We are going to keep this open-ended as there are clearly a number of issues being raised by. So if you feel moved to comment in any way, then we'll hear what you've got to say.

Looking through the comments being sent to the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s stations in the UK, the debate is as much about whether we should be giving so much attention to the anniversary as it is about Diana and her legacy.

That's it for this week. Enjoy your weekend. Speak to you later.
