Not really.  You've had 1 major tragedy, albeit a very, very sad day
indeed, but, as the saying goes, 'One swallow doesn't make a summer'.  
That happened over 3 years ago and yet you use the rhetoric that
americans are 'continually' being killed in their 'thousands'.  
Exaggeration indeed.  As another saying goes, 'Why let the truth get in
the way of a good argument?'  :)

Excuse me. We lost nearly 3000 souls on 9/11.....on American soil. I
don't give a rats ass where they called home or what nationality they
were.

Dang.  Wish my old Dad had taught me that.

I'm sorry, is that what the NRA tell you nowadays?

Guns have never been outlawed over here.  Certain types of guns, yes,
but not all firearms.

Not since the time of bows and arrows has there been any "right to
bear arms" over here.  To get a gun (according to the sports shooting
colleague I've just spoken with) you first have to be a member of a
gun club for at least six months.  Then the owner of the club has to
vouch that you are a capable and trustworthy individual.  Then you
have to prove that your home security is up to scratch so that
burglars can't make off with your lethal weapons.  Guns are
instruments of hunting and sport - not self defence.

Gun crime is on the increase due to the apparent ease with which
individuals can lay their hands on illegal arms, usually ex-soviet,
and the "cool" Gangsta image of get rich or die trying.  For a long
time have ***agers been in gangs and kicked shit out of each other -
happenned when I was a kid and my parents before me - but it appears
to have moved up a gear (hey, this is R.A.S!)  I don't know why that
might be, but I do know there is NO link between restricting firearm
ownership and a rise in gun crime.  There can't be because given the
above, there can not have been an incident where one person decided
not to commit a gun crime for fear that the victim might be similarly
armed.

Hey!  This OT thread is getting OT!!!
