(Not directed at you obviously) I am *so sick* of non-Americans assuming that all Americans own and use guns. I understand why people might think that, but I really do think that the non-US media plays up the gun angle as a way to enforce those "dangerous Americans" stereotypes.
Of course, the US does have more guns than, like, any other country in the universe, but that doesn't mean that we're all running around with them stuffed in the waistband of our pants. I've only ever seen one gun in my entire life and that was in the car of one of my crazy hacker friends who bought it for Y2K.
