I'll admit this one made me laugh.

I don't think its as simple as that though, in the USA it has been ingrained into us since the creation of our country that we have the right...no the NEED to have these guns. At least on some level.

The same is not true of England...which has a much longer history where the peasant were not to bear arms and only the Nobles were allowed. It's much more ingrained over a much longer period of time I think that its "ok" that the public doesn't have access to weapons.

Not saying the USA is better...just saying this is probably "part" of the reason.
