  1. Lauren W, I feel sorry for the friends I have in the US. People live in fear because of people in high places receiving substantial amounts of cash from the arms business. Laws need to be changed to protect innocent people from having to live in fear. A country that was long respected as a bastion of freedom. Wondering whether a family member is going to be shot at the mall, or at work, or gods forbid, at school, is not freedom. Law-abiding citizens are being held to ransom at gunpoint by the NRA and the politicians that profit from that organisation's support. It's unfair for the majority of Americans. Especially the kids.

  2. @C K I have no qualms about people defending themselves. But really? Having an automatic rifle with a 20-round magazine in your cupboard in the 'burbs? That's not home defense. And please, don't argue the 'less freedom' trope with me. You and I both know that while you have the laws you have, under the guise of 'freedom', every day some nutjob will shoot children in a school because people like assume that big guns give you bigger balls. You know the laws allow crazy people to shoot your children but you choose to ignore it.
