Americans and guns - you've gotta laugh!

I mean, if you don't laugh what's the alternative? Crying? It's not so much their belief that no matter what, no matter how many school/University/public space bloodbaths there are, that there should still be no changes to their gun laws coined back when militia were a legitimate part of a country's defense. It's more the unwillingness to even want to discuss the matter in any way, shape or form. And if you attempt to do so, and don't happen to be American yourself, watch out for those accusation to come flying at you: "US bashing", "everyone thinks US = devil" - and the one I love best: "You guys from outside the US just have no idea". Funny though that I don't recall ever putting forward a viewpoint or question on this subject that I haven't read or heard being put forward by an American elsewhere. Seems it can only be an American with any clue about America, even if the information you're presenting is the same. Gotta love the logic!

But then, logic has no place in a discussion with many Americans about gun laws. I mean, what was I thinking?!
