There seems to some of us over here to be a sort of resigned attitude among many of you over there, that guns are a sort of law of nature - like the weather and the seasons; which we all have to learn to live with, even if every now & then they get out of hand and produce tornadoes and tsunamis and shoot-em-ups. [I know we have copycattedly had some of the latter ~ Dunblane, Hungerford: but ours are at least product of outright disobedience to our basic laws, while yours result from misuse of the rights conferred by your laws: an important distinction, I should say.]

They aren't really any sort of natural law, you know. With the will & the organisation you could bring them under control. But is the will there among enough of you? The evidence appears to be that it is not.
