Scarier than Stephen King...

live in a society quite different than your own. In my country may people carry big guns, so it will hardly get anyone's attention. However, I can only imagined how scared you were for your life and the lives of your loved ones.

We often forget how fast our so called "Safe and Ordinary" lives can be taken away, and the potential chaos that resides outside our doors.

To all American friends: ban those weapons! THat **** doesn't happen in Europe. And if it did, my reaction would be: hey, wtf is that officer doing in my backyard?!!!!

With the flow of illegal guns into this country, my reaction would not be hey, wtf is that officer doing in my yard? I simply still wouldn't be able to tell. In my area, a large number of gun crimes are committed by unregistered, illegally bought weapons. A good portion of those come through mexico. Unless we could completely police every square foot of our borders, outlawing guns wouldn't solve that problem. And since we aren't even doing that now when illegal immigration is supposedly such a problem, I have my doubts about it happening if we outlawed guns.
