yes it's true we have more handgun deaths per year- and yes THEY ARE DECLINING. but then again you're on an island...in america we have almost four times the people. most of them living in cities that continue to grow. besdies that-in america there's something called the SECOND AMENTMENT of the CONSTITUTION of the UNITED STATES. even though dems and some republicans would like to scrap that as well as the 1st... Amentment2- Awell regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. it seems after we tossed out most of the idiots (aka the brits) we set down some laws to keep such things from happening again. if this means that every idiot gets a chance tohave a gun then so be it. hell, we are a warlike people... let us alone to kill ourselves and hope you never piss us off enough tocome and kick your country's ass. also remember who bailed you and most of europe out of during ww2. it's time america got some respect that it richly deserves...okok we have some fault but it beats being anywhere else...except maybe amsterdam.
