Have you ever been shot at? It sorta changes your life and you realize all of a sudden that life is not forever and can be changed in a moments notice from the gang banger standing next to you. I do not plan on being unarmed when and if it happens the next time! The last time was almost 11 years ago but it still comes back from time to time to make me realize that you are either a victim or armed.

Errr...don't you think that your military background indoctrinates you a bit? Have you ever considered a posibility that there would be far less "gang bangers" around if carrying a gun would be unlawfull?

Statistics are just out for England and Australia. Both have had a raise in crime in the last few years. Why? The govt took the public's weapons away, pledging that "we will keep you safe" ...

Did you care to compare those (rising) numbers with american ones?

And yeah, i happend to be a bosnian, and yes , i have been shot at, and no...i don't think our (euro) cities would be much safer with more liberal gun laws, and yes, everyone is entitled to opinion and no , i've never been in US and don't know the situation there, and yes, there are some particular...(should I say "mentality") differences between people on this side of the pond and other...and as far as i can see even between yourselves, and yes, you probably saved our collective ass in WWII (which i'm probably going to be reminded about quite soon), and yes, you bombed serbs and saved bosnians, thanx.
... but in the end...it seems that liberal gun-laws make things worse in long term.
P.S.
And how the heck every gun-thread degenerate so quickly into mud-slinging contest? Someone, lock this one and throw it into Off-topic please.
