Can I ask why so many in the USA feel they need to have a gun? Has crime escalated to such a level? Is it so unsafe for 'me/us' as a tourist?
We don't NEED them. We just WANT them.
It doesn't take a PhD in psychology and a lifetime of studying Freud to surmise that perhaps there is some overcompensation going on for a perceived lack of "manhood". Now, oh what could strapping a big, powerful, and mean looking gun with a hard looking shaft oops barrel compensate for?
Reality time, kids: no one is interested in your opinions on guns in the US. Let that reality sink in, and we'll all just get along.
Real reality time, NiMA: Please don't think you speak for the majority of Americans
Oh Please, he doesn't even represent the people of his own state. In fact, based on all of the most recent polls NiMa doesn't even represent all of the NRA members who believe that more background checks, and a host of other gun controls are necessary.
I can't even understand why the NRA and NiMA's object to fully vetting those who buy weapons. If you buy a car at a dealership - it needs to be registered and insured to drive it off the lot. If you go to a car show and buy a show car - it needs to be registered and insured to drive it. When you buy a car from a private party you need to have it registered and insured before you drive it on public roads. Additionally, in all cases the car not only needs to be registered but the driver licensed.
Then, why oh why if you buy a gun at a gun show instead of a store does one circumvent the background check? Could it be the gun and ammo manufacturers want to supply those who would never pass a vetting? Could it be that profit has gotten in the way of public safety and the public good?
Regulating the sale of used guns and the sale of guns at fairs would help keep guns from entering into the hands of criminals.

Absolute nonsense. If anybody wants a gun, they will always find a way of getting it. I can pick up a phone and order any weapons or even explosives, without any problem.

Perhaps that is a problem with regulation in the UK.
Interesting, NiMA complains that non-Americans express their opinions on this topic. Since he has not objected to you, he must only object to those who don't share his opinion. Another surprise.
