You mean you don't all start shooting each other as soon as you have a row
over a hamburger? C'mon, you're pulling my leg, we have documentaries like
Starsky & Hutch on the telly here in France about life in Amerika and they
always pull out their guns after tops a couple of minutes of dialogue.

I once emailed the NRA expressing concern that I couldn't prebook over the
internet for pick up at Miami airport a decent rifle to defend myself whilst
I took my family to Disneyland, adding that if possible I would like
lightweight handguns for my two children (aged 4 and 6) and a
grenade-launcher for my wife. They sent me back a very nice email saying
that I made a very valid point and said they had forwarded it to some
congressman or other for consideration.
