Hey all!!
Im sure you have all heard about this by now. I have only just read it on the BBC web site.
How can the NRA keep claiming that its your right to carry arms? Charlton Heston should be fucked and burned for being there public face. Would love to see his reaction if any of his kids or Grand kids were caught up in this!!
How can this keep happening!!!

Because American law needs to get its act together.
You cannot buy a can of Budweiser knats piss until 21 or more in some states but can buy a hunting rifle, capable of shooting through 2-3 parked cars or several human beings, aged 17.
Simple enough.
There are 300m citizens in the USA, and I guess about the same number of guns.

Once you give man A a gun to protect his property, man B then takes a gun along to steal man A's VCR.
US law needs to change.

Re: How can this keep happening!!!
Switzerland has some of the most liberal gun laws in the world, alot more so than most American states, but you don't hear about high levels of armed crime there.
