Selling revolvers, pistols and assault rifles like it is done in the US is crazy in my private opinion.
Some people are just plain interested in them and love shooting them. Just like a car collection, nobody bashes Jay Leno for all the cars he has.
How many people have Jay killed with his car, and how easy is it to use a hidden car in a holdup or burglary? Packing a car in a shoulder holster kind of limits your options.

Maybe so in Norway but that is how we became the US. I hope it would never happen again but until 9/11 we had a false sense of security that the US would never be attacked either.
Do you remember the revolution against the english crown and the Boston tea party? How many of your relatives where killed? I have spoken with my family members who fought in 1940 against the nazi invations forces. One of them was part of the french, english and norwegian forces who almost wiped out the nazi forces at Narvik. He was no gun advocate. My fathers uncle was a commando during the WWII. He refused blankly to talk about what he had done during the war, but was no gun advocate either. How many of your veterans are gun advocates?

If that's the case, then everytime I misspell a word, I could just throw away my pen and the problem would be solved. My point is, the problem isn't with the piece of metal laying there, it's what is in the head of the individual who uses it. The violence can't be blamed on an inanimate object, that's too easy. The problem is much deeper.
How many have you killed with your pen? The pen is mightier than the sword, but I definately would like the criminal mugging me to be armed with a BIC pen instead of a Glock.

I hate to answer this question but I will. I have had to do this. I tried to give a friend CPR after watching the vehicle he was in rollover and eject him. My first breath into him sent bubbles of blood out the top of his head. Now why do you ask this question?
Becouse so many people have a testosterone relationship to guns and gun use but have no idea about what they do to people. Those who have seen critical injuries know what guns do to people.
