Yep..but it`s about AVAILABILITY isn`t it.
There are more guns than people in the US. So, what are we talking? 300Million firearms plus?
Not too difficult to get a gun "Illegally" then. Just steal from someone who LEGALLY owns one.
You sure there is "nothing wrong with owning a gun", bearing in mind the statistics mentioned earlier?
The US has the biggest military in the world, & surely one of the biggest police forces. So why should every individual be ALLOWED to walk around with a gun? This ain`t the lawless, wild frontier no more. The "right to bear arms" surely no longer applies.
You don`t have to be a criminal, either - ANYONE can "lose it" (A Momentary Lapse Of Reason-heh,heh).
People in the U.S. are no more likely to flip, & go on homicidal rampages (with or without listening to Floyd, heh,heh) than people in Europe, or elsewhere. But you know what the difference is? GUN AVAILABILITY.
If you "flip" outside America, you may pick up a knife & stab someone.
If you "lose it" in the U.S. you MAY help yourself to a ton of
military weapons (taken from your grandad`s LEGALLY-OWNED arsenal) & go & blow away half your school.

-This San Antonio incident seems to be a case of "Careful With That Axe Eugene"
-What was there to stop it from being "Careful With That Ton of Military Hardware" ..er.."Eugene" heh, heh.
