You have my commiserations.

But don't worry too much about it, mate. Nobody's perfect.

Not perfect, but less likely to get shot over it.

Back to gun control. Deaths from guns have decreased dramatically here since tougher gun regulations were introduced a few years ago in the wake of the massacre that Dave mentioned. And for all your crying out about constitutional rights and freedom of big fuck-off weaponry, less death-by-splattering is only a good thing.

Years after I first started debating this, I still find it hard to believe that gun manufacturers could have instilled this sort of culture in a people. "Fear your government, so have an automatic weapon."

Iraqis were one of the most armed peoples on the planet, and it didn't save them from tyranny, nor from foreign invasion.
