Gun's don't kill people. But massive availability of guns contributes to people being killed by guns. It's very simple. :) -- Say it darling Doesn’t seem like you want that kind of honey, honey

These stereotypes are annoying, aren't they? And no, I didn't write "each one its turn" ;)

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.

Anyhow, my point is that if weapons were more regulated in the US, I think there would be less gun related killings.

Jörgen Sigvardsson wrote: Anyhow, my point is that if weapons were more regulated in the US, I think there would be less gun related killings. 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.

I get worried every time the government attempts to restrict this basic, constitutionally guaranteed right. Mike

Very hard to explain, so I will use what I believe is an American sayinhg that means the same. Taking the mickey. Shit stirring, not taking it seriously. Something English and Australians do with friends and family almost instinctively. So prevelant now that it happens at work and with people you don't know. Not stereotyping, my last company was American and I ran into many people from the US in the 3 years I was there. Spent 2 and a bit weeks in Cambridge MA in 1999. My experience is with Americans, you have to get to know them really well before piss taking is acceptable. When people would come to Australia to work with us they would get very offended with our standard office interaction. After a couple of weeks/months (depending on the individual) they not only became comfortable, they joined in the shit stirring.
