Re: U.S. most heavily armed country in the world

I must say that I'm suprised at how badly we kicked Finland's and Iraq's asses in that regard.

Well, I must say the US is doing a lot to help the latter catch up

We believe in fair play in this country.

Almost there!

And how many guns are in the hands of illegal immigrants?

Well, they're not citizens, are they?

I don't have any small arms as I go to the gym.

I've got my grandfather's ancient German shotgun I want to sell.

I think we are #1 in that too. Sorry, 3rd is ok though.

I guess so but... just making excuses for the low murder rates using fire arms. By the way, these are mostly just hunting weapons and rifles. Lots of hunting in here. Hunters usually have tons of weapons, so like we don't have any concealed weapons or small fire arms that much.

There was this... thing that we believe it's difficult to get a gun in here, the permit I mean. Turns out it isn't, unless you can't fill out a form.

It's kind of disturbing that US's military budget is as large as the rest of the world's put together. "US vs Them" indeed.

This is news?

Blake, I think the disturbing part is that there's obviously tons of waste of money.

Yeah, but then a handful of hooligans would start killing people with swords... violence does not end because we lack tools to inflict it.

In the land without sharp objects, the man with a pencil is king.

Come to think of it, the only reason pencils are no longer the primary option for a weapon is because they are so easily accessable.

Yes because it is just as easy to inflict damage with a sword as it is with a gun.

It'd be even more disturbing (to the rest of the world) if they WEREN'T wasting it .

USA is... to the rest of the world... kind of like a bad* horror movie. Like at the start of the Iraq war: NO! Don't open that door! *GAH*!
It'd suck to live there, yet everyone in the bad horror is oddly and obstinately oblivious to what's actually going on.

* By bad I mean of course good, if you know what I mean.

I used to have a 357 magnum with a short barrel, but I had to sell it.
