Bono have you ever thought we just simply 'don't care' to fix the problem?

We don't want it fixed. I haven't heard one bit of people sitting around here in my area talking about gun control needing to be fixed. If anything they've talked about how gun laws need to be strengthened in favor of gun owners.

The only people to my knowledge, or my area (just making a point to say, i'm NOT America as a whole) that are making a big deal about this are the American media, and pretty much everyone outside of this country that are confused why gun control isn't the popular choice.

We like our guns. It's not changing. (but it can if we just start here)

WE don't WANT IT started. This is America. Born to die, and die hard.

Honest to God, i'd be fascinated to go live somewhere (maybe further north?) for awhile and just kinda get a feel for a country without them just to see the different attitude. Like I said before, i've always been around them, so much to the point that you look right past them. Like a hammer hanging on a wall. Oh there's a gun, big deal. I've got them, and I don't even think i've fired them in two years, which is way too long just to make sure they are staying operable.

DCK said it, "Americans are scared of their government and Europeans are scared of their people". Says it all.

Americans 'fear' their government so much, that their government is the FIRST person they call for a handout, regulation, supplies, etc. But 364 out of 365 days of the year they bitch about government encroaching on their life.

In other words... we don't know what we want. It's like this, because it's always been like this. And we don't want it changed, because it's familiar.

I don't think anyone outside of America is stupid, nor in it. I just think it's a cultural thing that anyone who wasn't born and raised here in that culture doesn't get why we aren't really that concerned by it. Just like I don't understand why Canadians wouldn't willing want guns in their life. But then again after this tragedy, I can understand why they would see it that way. Definitely.
