      Lets hope. Stan Shannon would disagree with you though. He thinks the Constitution is irrelevant and meaningless to local and state governments.

            "The French daily Le Monde said the regularity of mass shootings across the Atlantic was a blotch on America's image. " So true. "It would be unjust and especially false to reduce the United States to the image created, in a recurrent way, from the bursts of murderous fury that some isolated individuals succumb to. But acts like this are rare elsewhere, and tend to often disfigure the 'American dream.'" Also true.

              The Gubment does raise taxes. So obviously that's not the motivation. It's more like, "we're being taxed / regulated to death - we should at least get guns!" :rolleyes: Personally, i think it's sort of a symbolic thing, like a king's scepter. At some point though, the king became a figurehead, and the impotent former ruler looked sadly at the thing in his hand and began to methodically bash his head in.

                It's perfectly understandable. The French have no guns so no one gets shot. The just have their cars set on fire, and then they get stabbed to death when they onject. Seems perfectly reasonble to me - from a French point of view. JimT

                      It is true that there's more to the problem that guns, Canadians are armed without killing each other at the rate Americans do, but, by the same token, it is also true that the US gun culture is *insane*.

                                  Like I said, the problem is more than just guns. Or, are you saying that this disrespect for life is worldwide, but only Americans have guns to act on it ? Like I said, Canadians have guns without the slaughter. But, yes, obviously if there was respect for life, the guns wouldn't make a difference to the equation.

                                    It is true that there's more to the problem that guns, Canadians are armed without killing each other at the rate Americans do, but, by the same token, it is also true that the US gun culture is *insane*.

                                    But what is that "culture? The idea that guns solve problems? That guns are fun?

                                      When did this occur ? So, "A well 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." is now recognised to be ridiculous in a day and age where a 'well regulated militia' is a foolish notion ? Or, are gun nuts continuing to cling to an outdated view of the world in order to defend their insanity ? 'I got me a rifle, no-one will ever invade the USA while I've got this here rifle'

                                        Just the idea that they have the right to a gun, and that a gun protects their freedom.

                                          I disagree, I believe the problem, if you want to generalize, a a total lack of respect for life.

                                          That would surely do, but it sounds awfully close to "this world would be a better place if we'd just leanr to love each other". Not that i have a problem with that, but it's not youe usual argument :)
