We've got our fair share of wild and dangerous creatures: pheasants, carp, field mice, etc.
But we Europeans prefer to give them a fighting a chance and wrestle them.
I think one Prince is allowed a bazillion game birds per day.
The only game left in Euroland is the metro-hustle.

Or "How many of you who own guns secretly wish somebody would try to harm you or yours?". Alternatively, "How many gun owners suffer from Bruce Willis Syndrome?".
What the h@ll kind of question was that anyway? And more importantly, which exact prejudice and/or poorly informed opinion of gun owners led you to ask it?
Alternatively, how many liberal academics really don't have a problem with guns, they just don't like the type of people that carry them?

Apparently, I'm a whole heap less paranoid than you are.
1. Buy a gun and shoot it, (or visit a culture where guns are used in every day life)
2. Get out of your head that "The only purpose in guns are to kill people", and that "People who have guns are paranoid".
Im gonna guess that less then .00005 % of bullets are actually aimed at someone. yet you debate like its 90%

2. You are telling me that owning a gun "to prevent tyranny" isn't paranoid?
