I grew up in the south of the USA. When I was a kid we often went hunting of
some sort before and/or after school if work and sports allowed. I would say
many of my male friends had a firearm of some sort in his car ( we had
drivers license at 14 years of age. ) It wasn't until recently that a
student could think about shooting more than one student before he was faced
with the wrath of his fellow students. The driving age was increased to 16
because concerned parents had a problem with driving not firearms. I
remember being aware of the responsibility of my actions early on. I am
convinced that of the weak ( old-female ect ) were armed with some defensive
weapon that could be used for self defense we would all be better off. The
laws have changed to restrict the innocent thus allowing the cowardly to use
weapons without a concern of a equal reaction. Unless you have lived in an
environment such as I have You are not qualified to condemn firearms for the
innocent.

Well, here in America, the =right= people are buying more guns and
getting the right to carry them. I have been investigated by the FBI
and
a
psychiatrist and come through with flying colors.


I bet the loonie who killed those 8 people last week did too

You all seem to display the same mental instabilities, paranoia and
separation from reality

That's what Americans think about those who like living in countries
that
won't allow you to defend yourselves.
Hence the term "Red-blooded American"; we don't have **** flowing in
our
veins.

That's because it's all migrated up into the cranium
