hey Guys,

You are throwing the laws of the USA out of proportion. I'm not sticking up for the guy, not after making fun of his stupidity like that, but c'mon, use some common sense. America has so many laws yet so many more leinent punishments for them. Take drunk driving for instance. In Germany, if you are caught DUI(Driving Under the Influence) you lose your liscence for a year and half to attend classes inorder to get it back. The second or third offense is you losing your liscence for life. Or how about some of the middle eastern countries that still believe in Hammarabi's code, eye for an eye?
Granted yes, the debate over gun legislation is a pain in the royal rear end, but all countries have their strict laws. I know that some of these things exist in Italy, Hungary, France, Belgium, Australia, and every other country in the world, some more than others.

That is my two sense for the day,
