I wouldn't say I don't like either side of the debate about gun control, I think both sides make some good points making it a really interesting debate.
I used to firmly believe in very strict gun control like we have in England, because I live in England and we have relatively few gun deaths.
Sometimes I watch videos on youtube, with titles like "Criminals get justice". And I noticed there is some weight to the fact that sometimes guns are put to good use for self defense.
I like the idea that if we were allowed more guns in England I could probably be much better equipped to deal with a gang of people if they decided to attack me, on the other hand more guns in the country means I'd probably get shot by them first, unless you believe that they wouldn't shoot me first because they'd be afraid if they didn't get me first time I'd shoot them back.
I also like the idea that if there was a tyrannical political power in place, at least some form of armed resistance could be formed, on the other hand every political power that's ever existed has been viewed as tyrannical in one way or another by one person or group of people.
America does seem to have quite a few columbine style shootings aswell, if the guns were available in England when I was a teenager I can say with some confidence that I would have been susceptible to wanting to go in a shoot a hell of a lot of my old classmates.
I was just that kind of weird geeky anti social angry teenager with an obsession with death, serial killers and all that sort of stuff.
Anyway I don't really see an a clear answer to the debate about gun control, but I think that makes it more interesting to talk about.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
