Yeah, I already knew that stuff about 'well-regulated militia', I'm a bit of a joker in real life, and I just dropped it in to poke a bit of fun into the thread.

As you made no comment about the rest of my previous post, I'm guessing you're in agreement with me and you've accepted that actual facts based on the real-world experiences of other countries more civilised than the US, carry more weight than ill-conceived, counter-logical theories, and that in a country like the US, with an unacceptable level of shootings, trying to reduce the number of shooting incidents by increasing the number of guns in circulation is like trying to fight a gasoline fire by pouring more gasoline on it. It's a crackpot concept, put about by greedy charlatans who care more about gun-manufacturers' profits than they do about the lives of their fellow Americans.

Now, my work here is done. I genuinely wish you luck with 'The American Disease', but I fear that, while the gun-loonies hold so much power, it ain't going away any time soon.

Vale.
