Americans will tell you the Constitution blah blah but I think it really comes down to this bizarre Wild West mentality we seem to have. When you question an American's right to bear an arm, you are literally attacking his manhood. It sounds silly but it's true, just look through this thread for examples. I was born here and I've lived here for 29 years and I still don't get it. Sure I had a BB gun when I was little but at some point you grow up, well most of us. I guess for me, I've learned to accept that gun maniacs and random shootings will always be a part of life as long as I live here. You simply aren't going to get the gun crazies to give them up, ever, most of them are so delusional about their shooting prowess that you'd never be able to convince them otherwise. You just have to hope you and your loved ones can stay out of their way.
