I haven't been following this, nor seen what seems to be something in
*excessively* bad taste, but even so..
 

 
 Me -

Isn't that pretty much like declaring Harry Potter to be evil without having
read it? How can you possibly form a reasonable opinion on it if you haven't
seen it? This is an honest question - what are you basing that opinion on? I
m not trying to be rude (having read this and realised that's how it might
come across) just honestly curious.

It is about the high incidence of death in America caused by gunshot wounds
and tries to understand why that is. That seems to me to be a subject that
deserves some kind of attention. Especially since it isn't purely due to the
number of guns floating around in America (although why there is even any
debate about banning some of them I do not understand, hunting rifles, fine
I understand that, even simple handguns, although I would never want one in
*my* house, but some of the high powered weaponry people ar allowed to own
is just ridiculous). canada his a high gun ownership level (logical in a
country that big and open) and so does Switzerland but they don't have
anywhere near the murder rate.
