But thats all cool with me. I don't care if they need a weapon or not. Their is only one thing I really hate about Americans. (most of them) They think that their country is the best one. They only know Mexico and Canada and were never in Europe (except maybe in Paris or England). But thats what they learn as children. Everywhere they go someone tells them how good their life is.

And your wrong about Americans. Americans don't think our country is better than any other country; We just don't understand the concept that other countries exist. I can drive for four days straight and still be in the US; I can drive for four hours in Europe and visit six different countries.
At the same time, name one other country that has the size, population, wealth, knowledge, armed forces, and economic might the US has.
I've been all over the world - I've lived in Canada (not proud), been to Mexico, Greenland, Iceland, Japan, and all over Europe. Mexico scares the living fuck out of me. Every country has it's pros and cons, but don't tell me Sweden or France (or whatever) is better than the US.
