If in fact, it isn't the gun laws in countries like Japan, Canada, England that makes them safer then what is it?
Are Americans more insane, violent by nature than other human beings? If that is so, why on earth would we make sure to arm them with weapons? I would think that would be a better argument than anything. Shouldn't we be banning weapons in a country full of hostile humans?
I really just don't get it. If you know of another reason why you think we have such a high incidence of gun violence in America then please let me in on it.
For me, on either side it points to gun control, no weapons, etc.

If gun control works in other countries than we should do it, if others are just not as violent than America and they can have little gun violence despite owning more weapons then we should definitely not arm Americans, right? We should get them out of here ASAP.
Either way it points to gun control and a revision of our constitution because we have changed and become crazy people since you had the right to a militia. Right?????
If I am wrong, please tell me why? Why would this not be the logical future of such a violent place?

Well Twiggy, using our Yankee ingenuity we found out that pointing a gun at a perpetrator turns out to be much more highly effective than pointing our penis at them. I know that may work in Sweden with all the dirty movies and all but here, in America, people just don't take a penis pointing at them as seriously. Crazy as that may seem, it doesn't seem to work...go figure...

Besides, we can get holsters to fit our gun. Our penis? Not so much....I thought the snub-nosed holster would do it but, it turned out to hard to draw in a hurry without some tears.

Over the years we also found out that the penis is harder to reload in a panic situation. Be it the bedroom or the street, just doesn't seem to work. Viagra helps but, it's "not for everybody". Now that may not be such a problem over there with all that chocoloate and big breasted ski bunnies but, here, in dirty cities, it just doesn't have that inherent spark.

We thought about pointing our asses at them but, that too seemed to fail. Many a man with a bruised rear respendent with boot wedged within can attest to that. So, for us, it's the gun. Works, always ready when you need it, and easy to reload.

Who could ask for more?
