Not at all Dixie...every other civilised country thinks it's madness that there's so many shootings and massacres but still nothing is done. The macho need to "defend" yourself with a fully automatic weapon against some perceived threat is strange as well...all because of some 200 year old constitutional amendment that was written by guys who owned slaves.

The US is a great country but it's obviously a subject which difficult for you all to agree amongst yourselves with, never mind someone from another country! I suppose if everyone in my street/town owned a gun, Id probably feel the need to have one as well...but it'd hardly reduce the chance of catching a bullet at some point
