Yes, but when I was in the US and I went to progressive rallies where the speaker was praising the European social model and the audience was going wild, I thought to myself these progressive speakers should tour the EU at least once, and talk to people, not just politicians.

"It's the statue, man, The Statue."

And do Europeans want the right to walk into any gun dealer's place and buy enough guns and ammo to start your own insurgency, no waiting period, few questions asked and no check to verfy if you answered the form truthfully?  And, in the wake of the horrors at Virginia Tech, do Europeans want their politicians to proclaim that every man woman and child should carry a loaded gun from the moment they wake up to the moment they go to bed?  And do Europeans want to live in such a society?
