What other user stated before it's quite true, I mean, some of us certainly can't understand the need to own a gun, therefore people from the US shoud be the ones pushing for this debate.
However, I do find the political scene quite fucked up, I see that there will be no proper debate if the lobbyist have that power to shut up pretty much everybody.
Additionally, I do find funny the argument of certain people here, so, the US is a safe place to live as long as you have a gun to protect your property and your loved ones. Wtf, isn't the police there rather competent, or what?
