eple,

I know I bowed out of this earlier, but just one foot note.

The problem with BFC is that the "World" as you put it, got to know lots of things about America that aren't true. You're own case is a perfect example of what I am talking about.

I don't expect you to know it being Norwegian, but the "Mile High City" that I am from refers to Denver, Colorado and I live about 10 miles due north of Columbine HS. I have friends that graduated from Columbine. I've toured the Lockheed-Martin Waterton canyon plant and seen the rockets being built. I've seen the B52 outside the Airforce Academy on Black Forest Road. I went to Columbine and climbed Rebel Hill to add my own candle. And I am an NRA member.

So MM's misportrayal of America hits very close to home with me.

No one can deny that there are a lot of gun deaths in America but I think the reasons are not guns, but rather the violence bread by the racial diversity of America combined with incomplete integration. This is exacerbated by an insane drug policy that allows gangs to flourish on the illegal drug trade.
