[Ingen sier det bedre enn herr Izzard]

Det første jeg tenkte da jeg så overskriften, var «Amerika, ikke sant?» 4-åring skjøt barnevakten med hagle. Det er bare i Amerika at noe slikt kunne skjedd, trigger happy som en god del av dem over dammen er. Forøvrig har jeg på følelsen av at guttens familie må være red necks og/eller white trash. Bare en følelse jeg fikk.

Og jeg overlater herved ordet til Eddie Izzard:
«There’s all this National Rifle Association and everyone in America is – I mean, 13 year olds keep going out and they get hold of weapons from their grandfather’s arsenal! «I’ll borrow the Howitzer, the M16 machine gun, the Uzi…» What the fuck’s the grandfather doing?! This kid down in Arkansas just helped himself to a ton of military weapons, and went and blew away his school!

And the National Rifle Association says that, «Guns don’t kill people, people do,» but I think the gun helps, you know? I think it helps. I just think just standing there going, Bang! That’s not going to kill too many people, is it? You’d have to be really dodgy on the heart to have that…» (Fra Dress to Kill)

Trenger Amerika en strengere våpenpolitikk eller trenger Amerika en strengere våpenpolitikk?
