no, i disagree and agree with shagee...although I can only read like 2 words under that giant picture.....the US has the highest gun crime rate of any civilized country in the world...the difference there is not the media or any crap like that, they are not allowed to have guns except under very special circumstances (like hunting I think, and they do not have Charleston Heston arguing that you need a machine gun that can shoot 60 rounds per second to hunt deer)---that is the difference, the profusity of weapons here
