You have guns BECAUSE you're scared.

We have guns because we can. The thing a lot of people do not
understand is there is a very active shooting sport community here.
Beyond hunting we also have skeet, trap, sporting clays and a number
of different target sports. That is where most of the billions of
rounds of ammo that get fired here are used. It is just not worthy of
putting on CNN.

This is simply another country with another culture. You are 3000
miles away, I think you will be safe if you stay there.

We shoot for sport, but we don't carry the ****ing things about with us in the street. What on earth makes you think you have the right to kill anyone you please? At any point you could lose your temper, take the gun out of your pocket and kill someone stood in front of you. And don't say you wouldn't, because there are plenty people who would.

Most of the concealed carry license procedure is taking training that
tells you that you are not allowed to shoot people.
There is a very limited number of circumstances where you are even
allowed to expose your gun and even fewer where you can shoot.

The reality is, there have been very few people with the license who
have shot someone when they were not justified ... including
Zimmerman, who got all of that publicity. He was actually charged in a
politically motivated kangaroo court and acquitted of all charges.

Training doesn't stop someone. If you wanted to kill some people, you just need to go get a license, carry a concealed weapon, then go kill folk. Someone you hate, a whole group of people you hate, or just anyone if you're a mass murderer.
