Why More Americans Want to Own Guns

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

I have read every post in this thread (and admittedly snarked at a few) and I think I at last see the core of the issue:  The trouble seems to be that USians view gun ownership as a right, while much of the rest of the developed world sees it as a privilege.  My own country is awash in firearms, even though it is made very difficult to obtain small arms, and your license to own them can be removed for a number of reasons.  As I understand it, VERY few firearms licenses are suspended or revoked, as EnZeds take gun ownership as a serious responsibility.

Without getting into the legal niceties of the Second Amendment, mightn't it be wise to at least consider that your FF got this one wrong?
