No one will ever understand Americans obsession with guns, exccept Americans. It is what it is, and won't change...at least not for another couple of generations. The words thrown around on this forum won't change our mindset.

My first post within this thread wasn't for it, nor was it against it. People were throwing around stats and I added to that. What is wrong with that? 200,000+ deaths per year due to prescription interactions...makes me more concerned about our healthcare system than worried about guns.

And yes, I enjoy working here in Qatar where I feel safer (less rapes, muggings, carjackings), but on the flip side I'm not advocating for giving up our guns in America. No one will 'get it' unless they're from there or at least study our history in depth... July 4th is coming around the corner. Will the UK help us celebrate?
