Having a gun is entrenched in the American psyche they'll never give them up. Look at the grief Obama's getting and he hasn't said anything about hand guns - America's gun of choice.

They are nutters - only yesterday I read an article and watched a video where a homeless man steals a tube of toothpaste and is chased by the manager and strangled to death in an alley... And passers by also kick the man whilst watching him being throttled. I know you shouldn't steal but that seems a little disproportionate...

Not a great fan of Piers Morgan but when he spoke up against guns there was a petition with over 100k signatures to have him kicked out of the country. The gun lobby seem mainly to be the "pro-life" Christian Right. No, I don't get it either.

Must admit I think he's a bit of a creep and loved it when Clarkson popped one on him, but I must admit I felt sorry for him when I saw this...

Someone may be of sound mind when they obtain the gun but I wouldn't like the thought of someone who develops dementia being able to get hold of one

I'm sticking this here in the middle as my pc won't let me reply to Pete's last post as there is a picture of guns  ::)
That looks like a mighty big weapon for a younster.
My brothers boy shoots has been doing for a few years now (not as young as that lad looks though) and at 15yrs is getting really high scores, he's shooting for England and manages 100 straights - I am pleased that he has a something that he excelles at.
However it is 'just a sport' of clay pidgeon shooting and not that type of gun in the picture - that looks like a training for war - little wonder the world is so violent.
