Gun Crazy

If you were the President of a country where everyone was sensible, happy, broad-minded and educated, you would, perhaps, consider letting a select few of your country's citizens own firearms. The vast majority of these people, though, would not want any. Why would they - everything is fine.
If you were the President of a country that had millions of ignorant, disaffected teenagers in places where community spirit had eroded, social infrastructure had crumbled, crime rates were phenomenal, and morality was based on shifting government policy, you would be a moron to even consider selling firearms.

But those Americans are at it again, eh? Shooting each other. Did anyone think 'Now, there's a surprise'? Of course not. He was a loner, apparently. Well really? Did he perhaps listen to some kind of heavy metal music? There's a surprise.
