What I meant by the Afghanistan comment was more to do with principle than the technicalities of a terrorist regime.

In my lifetime, I can recall many tragedies involving firearms from the US. I can't recall half as much that have occurred in the UK. People walking into public areas and opening fire at random would shake this nation to its core.
We are a nation of gun owners. THat will not change anytime soon.

We also have laws that say you can't attack or (sometimes) defend ourselves with our firearms.

We also have laws that prohibit carrying heat in certain places.

My complaint is about the people who think that the U.S. is nothing but a nation of goofy, lawless, gunpacking paranoid idiots-most of those people live here!

Principle vs. technicality?

The only technicality is the people in the back of the Toyota will think nothing of shooting you, and they will do it as a matter of principle.

I am sorry if you thought I was ragging on you. I was merely defending my country from the folks that live here and find it such a ghastly place to live in.
