What really, really annoys me about the US is that even where there are supposed to be gun purchasing restrictions, background checks and the like, you can actually go to gun shows in most states and they don't even ask for ID. This is a ridiculous situation which most politicians are aware of but choose to leave it as a loophole.<br />These gunshows are where most of the guns used in violent crimes come from.Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5778330150286788997.post-2415360098679808722010-06-04T16:54:56.877-05:002010-06-04T16:54:56.877-05:00OMG Amazing post - seriously... some of it SO brav...OMG Amazing post - seriously... some of it SO brave.<br /><br />I daren't blog about my "gun experience" for fear of being excommunicated from the blogosphere.

I have seen it and know it to be true. <br /><br />As far as gun laws (I speak for laws in the US in this case), my ex shot a man in the hed when he ws 16 with the intent of killing him. The mam lived but will be in a wheelchair the rest of his life. He served 2 years in a state school and was then released on the generla public with a sealed juvenile record that allowed him to purchase as many guns as he wanted. As fr ass the authoritities were concerned, he ws ok. As far as I waas concerned, he was a strung-out paranoid who was a danger to himself and everyone around him. I finally sked the local pawn shop to stop selling him guns, which they did. They would not, however, sell me a gun to protect myself from this loon once we split up. Go figure.<br /><br />HopeHopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11837513506057486729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5778330150286788997.post-46362245813395372372010-06-04T10:54:08.709-05:002010-06-04T10:54:08.709-05:00I'll all for a replacement of guns with shoes....I'll all for a replacement of guns with shoes.
