@ twiceAweek: Ouch! Touchy subject.  I've tried having this conversation with many a foreign friend.  US gun owners believe owning firearms makes you a Citizen, being disarmed makes you a Subject.  Firearms ownership so deeply ingrained in US culture that I don't think those raised in non-permissive countries will ever thoroughly understand.

but the logic of possessing firearms to protect oneself may seem sound in a country where killing people is part of life ... but does one really need machine guns and such where a simple shotgun would do ?
