Some times I wonder how we here in Europe manage to live without everybody
owning (and firing) guns :) Can't quite figure out how we manage to deal
with crime without all private persons owning weapons, when obviously you
Americans can't!! Well, I got my ideas, but I better keep them to myself :)

First of all, I'm not at all convinced that you haven't just been watching
too many movies. Secondly, I'm amazed and deeply frightened of the kind of
nature you are showing, and the total lack of respect for life. I for one
will no longer travel to most of the USA. Think of the gun-law and "shoot if
frighten" policy of Florida, or what ever it's called. For a person like me
that lives in the civilized part of the world, it's quite frankly unreal to
think of.
