....And good on them !

Those of us who grew up not believing the Second Amendment is the Eleventh Commandment simply can't believe how aggressively our American cousins are
willing to fight for the right to continue killing each other. 

Those venerable founding fathers were not clairvoyant. They could not foresee the future with its repeating rifles, its revolvers, and its modern assault weapons, nor the stupidity of its citizens in mistaking the right to bear arms against a foreign invader with the right to bear arms to kill one another.

Albert Einstein was right when he said that the commonest element in the universe isn't hydrogen, but rather stupidity. We have seen the proof.
