As it is Americans seem to be living in fear of getting shot, so you get a gun.
well, obviously. but banning them won't make any difference, it's a pretty lawless country in places, allot worse than the uk. plus look at the size of the place... there's plenty of nutty militia types who'd form small army's in the woods to protect their right to bear arms. if i lived in the sates i'd defo have a gun at home, in the same way i have a double lock on my front door in the uk.
I'm glad guns are illegal in the uk.
not all guns are illegal, several of my friends have shotguns and all the required permits. hell, one of my mates is a gunsmith!
