This, from the nation who fought back and held tight against Hitler's Luftwaffe. What happened?

"Schoolchildren in London are eligible for 125,000 free tickets for the 2012 Olympics next Summer, but any event that involves a firearm will be excluded from the massive giveaway....."

"....City Hall and Olympic Organizers are afraid of an anti-gun backlash. That’s right — the powers that be in London won’t subject kids to such bloodsports as Skeet and Trap shooting......."

In Czech, you can legally carry concealed into a school or gov't building. In Italy you can own AKs. In France you can own shotguns. In Finland you can hunt with an AK. Then there's good ol' Switzerland where you can buy full-auto machine guns.

France has over 30% gun ownership, Austria, Norway, Switzerland and Finland too.

Maybe the UK and a select few European countries are gun banners, but Europe in general is not. Get over it.

I have wondered what happened to all the military guns left behind after the innumerable battles fought all over Europe. I cannot imagine they were all collected and melted down.

You sure liked them when someone was using them to PROTECT you...

I will be sure to get over it, and I think all of America needs to get over it, while withdrawing all military personnel to the U.S., closing all American bases in Europe, where you don't like guns, and demolishing all buildings we erected.

You can protect yourselves with paper airplanes... They can put someone's eye out you know.
