slim,
Ok people die of vodka, but vodka is the same as whiskey or brandy in spirit contents. We sell vodka without psychological check-up, you sell whiskey AND guns without psychological check-up.
thank you America for the guns during WWII. I am sorry your history schoolbooks tell you America won it, though, because it is BS I am not even going to further comment on.
thanks for an interesting conversation, anyway

There is one good reason why some women do not like guns.
Women GIVE lives and guns TAKE lives. It's an instinct.
I understand the desire to learn to shoot, though - it's kind of overcoming yourself, feeling in charge of even the sub-conscious part of yourself.
What makes me angry is the bandwagon effect (correct me if I misused this word), when guns are generally available and the whole nation is raised for generations with a gun on a pedestal inside of their minds.
In my observations, here is no such thing in the countries who had REAL wars within their territories. Europe and FSU countries are a lot more careful with weapons because we still have that memory of WWII, somewhere deep inside. Looks like America is still playing games.

Gee guys.... thanks for all your help and input in defending my guns....
I do find it rather odd in your haste to defend the Second Amendment your eagerness to trample the First Amendment. Even though I may not agree with Tigger's thoughts on firearms, I do believe she has the right to her own opinions and to express those opinions in an intelligent manner. Many men gave their lives in defense of the Constitution in its entirety..... not just one or two Amendments. Did her comments really warrant the level attacks? Did you honestly (sitting there with your pistols cocked and locked) feel threatened? Really nice way to make someone feel welcome to a new and strange place.
Thanks a million!!
Terry

No, I don't believe that America has had only one attempted invasion because all of you guys have guns. It has to do with the oceans separating you from the places where the invaders were historically from.
I do agree that evil lies in the human beings who make choices, but, to my mind, the governments are MEANT to regulate that, and giving a gun to any human being who likes to own one, does not seem a responsible thing to do. Any psychological check-up done before that?
Afganistan? Are you considering Afganistan NORMAL? Are you asking me to ask around the guys who were there for a REGULAR attitude to guns? They are half-crazy, waking up in the middle of the night because they hear the sound of chopper over their heads, is that what people should feel to REALLY appreciate the power of guns?
And yes, I admit, that at my shooting skills test at high school I got only 7-6-3 out of 10-10-10. But no, my feet are ok.
And oh! Sorry to disappoint you, slim, but imho, your wife loves you IN SPITE of the fact you are fat, bald, unemployed and ugly. Not BECAUSE you are an excellent marksman. YOU might love yourself because you are an excellent marksman. She just loves YOU.
Thank you guys for making it easier for me to understand the only issue me and my US fiance have been arguing about. Without indirectly calling me ignorant and close-minded just because I am a woman and my point of view does not coincide with yours.
