America,

You do not have a gun culture because of the NRA. You have the NRA because of a gun culture. This might not be the kind of problem you can legislate your way out of.

Connecticut - rated fifth among all US states by the Brady Campaign for its gun control laws - has almost all of the laws that are supposedly "reasonable" gun laws. Including waiting periods for all firearms, and "Assault weapon" bans.

Thank you for proving my point, though probably not in the way you intended.

If your point was that there are people not prone to "magic" thinking, sure. Any time.

It may not be the kind of problem you can legislate, but that has never stopped them before.

CNN asked people to upload pictures of their guns and explain why it was banned.

If want to re-float the Yamato, retrofit it alien space drives and re-animate their dead crew...well, you will have to embrace American culture, guns and all.

Please feel free to prove me wrong by showing me European culture in any form that would permit such violent creativity.

Am I wrong to now want to add some Russia twist to the re-float the Yamato, retrofit it alien space drives and re-animate their dead crew story line?
