Recently in the UK there have been trailers on our cable TV for a programme in which a presenter was visiting 'interesting people' in the USA. The bit that truly horrified me was of a 9 year old girl, holding an assault weapon, boasting that she has 36 guns 'just for her' and saying 'we are going to have so much fun' as she demonstrates firing off her weapon. I have had to turn it off every time as even the tiny clip in the trailer makes my feel physically sick. In what sort of 'civilised country' can this possibly be considered normal or acceptable?
ONLY IN AMERICA

We here in America used to be civilized!

In some places the police resell the confiscated guns... so they can buy more deadly ones?
