Since you need to have me read you the fine print:
America was founded through revolution, thus the right to bear arms is enshrined in our constitution. In the same way that we do not eliminate free speech because crazy people say crazy things, we do not eliminate the right to bear arms because crazy people shoot people.
America is an armed nation by design. This is who we are. We are fat, ignorant, and well armed. Because of this we invented the muscle car, the double double and the Colt 1911. While you can argue that this is an antiquated notion, Britain still has a queen, Spain has a king, Canada has mounties and Tibet has a Dali Lama so suck it.
