I really don't take kindly to people from other countries talking crap about a place they only know on some surface level. if you want things to stay civil between us and for us to be able to discuss other topics down the road I would suggest you drop this who "You like most Americans" BS you are saying. You don't me at all except from this place and you don't know "Most Americans" ... so I suggest you stick to what you know and leave my country out of your gun arguments unless you have lived over here for more that five years. I hope we can continue to discuss other topics but at this point the matter is in your hands ... if you want to keep it up with your view of America then I won't have anything to say to you. I came to this site to discuss gaming not my Country's laws and political views concerning my country. Just gaming please. You don’t sh*t about us Americans so you should mind your words.

Tell me what bad things would come out of banning weapons. Weapons are meant for one thing only, to Kill, and I can do without that. You probably say it is for protection only. But if NOBODY else has weapons, what's there to fear. You wouldn't be so paranoid if you knew nobody else could shoot you down every minute. And fact is, you would never have had all those killings at schools if it weren't because those kids had weapons at home. I love my country and the fact that we can have weapons legally. That’s why I DON’T live someplace else folks Anuban: You, like most other Americans, cannot imagine a society without weapons. Tell me what bad things would come out of banning weapons.

How do you know he didn't tell his son "Look here these guns are not for you to go around killing people ... they are for our protection and to use in cases of dire emergency only" ... or something to that effect. His father didn't kill anyone and those were his guns so he had the chance many times ... and how do you know he himself didn't grow up around guns. Yet did he kill anyone when he was a kid? Sometimes it is a little to easy to shift the blame on the parents when the truth is there are just some pychotic people out there in the world NOONE can reach. Get all the facts first before you are so quick to blame the parents. Are you parents responsible for every mistake ... big or small ... that you ever made folks .. I know mine weren't. I am my own individual and the majority of the choices I made were soley mine and I take FULL responsibility for them. So what … what does that prove praytell.

Isn't it funny that Germany actually has the biggest Counter-Strike fanbase in the world? But for some reason they're not too keen on WW2 shooters :) Or books mentioning the phrase “Das Faterland”.
