The comment about "wogs" was intentional, as it often seems that UKers feel that they and their way of life is superior to that of folks elsewhere. Truly, it does.

Laws regarding the ownership and use of firearms (or any weapon) reflect the history and social matrix of a country. In truth, I think that the US should require ALL gun owners (and purchasers) to complete a comprehensive training course, including psycho-social evaluation, before a permit to own a firearm is issued. Unfortunately, this chance passed the US by in about 1959 and given the climate today it's not feasible right now.

I should have known better and kept my promise to myself not to mix in political discussions. I'll do so in the future.
