                              I am too quick to judge the French. However, labeling all Americans as drigger happy goes too far, IMO. I don't even own a gun, let alone know how to use one.

                                I think labelling any individual because of its nationality is a mistake, each one should deserve the right to be considered as an entity, a human being.

                                    Within 5 years, more people in America will be killed by guns each year than in automobile accidents. Somebody is pulling all those triggers; it's a bigger problem than just this one idiot.

                                        wasn't it supposed to be taking the piss? I'm not familiar with this expression used this way, David. What's the translation?

It's possible... hard to predict though. Dangerous as they are, nervous fingers don't become harmless merely by removing them from a trigger. At some point, you've gotta look at what motivates people to be owning and using guns. If you haven't already, watch "Bowling for Columbine" - Michael Moore is an ass, but he makes some interesting observations just the same.
