I think we may have broken Bloodstain's mind. One word post and it isn't even capitalized... [cabbage], is the return policy still good on this one? Trolling aside, it's a bit extreme to say (however indirectly) that a lack of guns would lead to a Nazi-style dictatorship. Not without pretty much everything else that could possibly go wrong ding so as well, at any rate. I mean, maybe if Canada/UK loses and is humiliated in a war and the global economy collapses first... In which case banned guns will be the least of their problems. See, it's not just one crisis that leads to the Nazis. It's several in a row. By which time gun laws simply won't matter :razz: As for America... Part of it may be that we're all trying out best to be desensitized to violence. You can turn on the TV and see a murder play out with the aid of special effects and good acting, you could turn on your game console and blast your way through a million and a half terrorists, or you could see the film and watch that all happen in a dark, air-conditioned room with some popcorn and a soft drink. Our primary sources of entertainment are watching muscular badasses gun down hundreds of people, and Football. Not the weak European one, the manly one where steroid-fueled giants crash into each other. But even with all that, Australia is still more badass-per-capita than we are... :cry: Now if anyone needs me, I'm gonna read a book.
