Pssst...PD...it's "Mongol horde."
Unless the Mongols have elected to send their sheep in after us...which in certain parts of our nation could provide sufficient distraction for us to be well and truly invaded.
The proliferation of guns in the US has nothing to do with the 2nd ammendment, or even the first part, which is the only part anyone ever reads.
If it's possible for an entire nation to be mentally ill, we've made it. Canada is up to its fine tush in guns but they seem to lack the desire to settle every single dispute with one.
People have had the ability to kill other people since the first cavedude bounced a rock off another cavedude's skull. "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" has been seen by some to be a smart ass retort by the "gun freaks," but it's true none-the-less. Or more precisely "Americans kill people." I was raised to believe life was sacred and that was part of the "American fabric." The fabric unraveled a long time ago.
