I'm from Canada, so maybe that disqualifies me from the conversation, but this blog was a nice peek inside the issue of gun control and gun ownership. <br />While the recent school shootings was tragic, and, as you pointed out an isolated incident, I do want to ask a question.<br />While I respect the US citizen`s right to bear arms - I believe that was initially written should Britain and or British North America (Canada) try and attack the fledgling USA - does the average citizen need to be able to own such things as machine guns or other automatic weapons... I understand the right to collect weapons, but isn`t overkill... <br />If the average US citizen wishes to bear arms, wouldn`t a handgun do just as well in case one of us sneaky Canadians tries to burn the White House down (as we supposedly did once before)... I can`t make a question mark for some bloody reason. <br />Just asking. Andrew Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063234777548462157noreply@blogger.com
