I am a firearm collector. Had that discussion here previously.
I must say I distance myself extensively from the American "gun nuts", because, put simply, they are odd. They believe it is their God-given right (because, apparently, the constitution and the NRA are GOD).
I participated on American collector websites (including being a forum moderator, and still am on one - CALM, SERIOUS collector site) for 15 years. You quickly learn a LOT about the American psyche that does not gel with most of civilisation. In the end, it repulsed me. SIGNIFICANTLY. A true example of megalomania society that thinks it dominates the world, and all must follow suit or else.
That is NOT an American bash, as I have a LOT of true American friends, but...
America is slowly learning reality, after decades of propaganda and supremacy dogma. As much as I dislike Obama, I find it fascinating what he and the Democrats are doing to America, and actually succeeding bit by bit. In essence, bringing the USA down a peg back to reality and opening their eyes to the truth of the world around them.
America needs controls on not just firearms but in a LOT of other areas.
