That's kind of the point, it's looking at the US and seeing that it appears that to the NRA and the extreme right it is acceptable! Or at least a unfortunate byproduct of preserving this insane right to own assult rifles without any kind of check or review.

To me, watching the US over the last month I have started to feel like they are a broken society that can't be fixed. Awful education systems and widening gaps between have and have nots is creating too large a mass of extremists. Best proof if this, is the NRA and its support.
