The American SYSTEM seems totally incomprehensible to us - you worry about civil liberties and gun control as a purely academic issue, but seem to ignore the fact that if some of the big cities in your nation are so dangerous that the police won't go there at night time, it might be because you can get handguns in Wal*Mart

I don't mean to threadjack here, but last I checked, you can't buy handguns at Wal-mart. Granted, they have hunting rifles and shotguns, but criminals don't use those kind of weapons and they don't get their guns legally anyway, which is why they're criminals and since they don't give two shits what the laws are, they're gonna find a way to obtain those weapons, be it having them smuggled in, having individual pieces of them shipped in, or making them themselves. Besides that, the cities have many other factors that account for high crime, such as high numbers of minorities, gangs, underfunded police forces, and so on.
