Another nutter with a gun goes on the rampage. This time in Wisconsin. Think they have serious issues over there. Surely something needs to be done? |

It's not confined to the States. There's a nut running round Liverpool with a shotgun. |

Most Americans that I have spoken to consider it an absolute right to have certain things and to not have certain other things - to carry guns is absolute, to have minimum government interference in their "rights" is also absolute. Guns don't kill people is the brick wall you come up against every time, its true, guns don't kill people, but you don't legislate against the guns. you're legislating against the person having the right to own the gun, and that is an almost communist (the most feared word in the American language) step too far for most Americans. |

Half of my family are American and the only one who carried a gun is my late Uncle (through marriage). He had an old Civil War rifle that I held and was interested in the history, but he asked me if I would like to see his gun that he kept for defence in his coat pocket and I refused. My cousins hunt (they live in rural Pennsylvania) and own rifles but never hand guns for defence. I hate that too

I hate that too I can understand the reasoning behind owning shotguns and rifles for hunting but handguns were developed for one reason only: to kill people at close quarters. Unless that is your stated intention, then there's absolutely no need to carry one. |
