It's a vicious circle, more people buy guns because other people have guns making other people buying guns because these other have guns making other people....etcetera, etcetera...

Still all those people having guns does NOT make the US a safer place, as statistics proof.

It seems to me that the US with this gun problem together with the inflated War on Terror is rapidly becoming a State of Fear.

The next time they'll have a gun, because you've got one. The next time you won't be so lucky, you can bet your 0.22 on that...

The next time I won't be so lucky, because they'll have a gun? Because I have a gun? What? Did you read any of the rest of the post? Training. Awareness. Responsibility. Only after you've aquired these can you make an argument against my rights that I will listen to.

I don't threaten people with guns. I don't shoot people. I don't consider gear more valuable than human life. But if you wish to victimize me or those I love, you will not find it easy. Anyone who wants to MAKE it easy can piss up a rope.

That's the way I feel. I just don't own a gun, either.

I read all of your post, but apparently the red haze in your eyes prevented you to read my post. According your logic everybody needs to own a gun to protect himself or their loved ones.

Training. Awareness. Responsibility. There are a bunch of loonatics around who have none of this qualifications.

I've been travelling around in the US a lot in the 80's and 90's. People advised me when being stopped by the police to remain in the car, keep my hands on the steering wheel at all time and dont reach for the glove department or anything else, it may cost you your life. This never happen in the many other countries I've driven in.

Because of all these guns around in the US, there's a particular violent aspect to the American society, proven by statistics, a fact all gunowners prefer to ignore.
