In one notable instance, we had an uptick in crime: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnew...nalds.html
I love Texas, but it is is not the state I knew when we would go back to visit my very Texan grandmother. There are three problems with Texas right now: 1) Rick Perry, 2) Unreasoning gun love and 3) what's the third? Oooooops!
The simple fact is this: if you give every Swiss person a gun, they will put it in a safe place in the home in case Germany tries to invade, and then they will meet you for cafe and chocolate, enjoyed in a pristine square with colorful flower boxes. If you give every American a gun, they will occasionally mow down someone they don't like in a flourescent-lit, barely sanitary McDonalds -- or they might just mow down everyone in McDonald's at the time. Generally speaking, you cannot entrust Americans with guns. They have proven it time and time again.
Hawaii's gun laws are reasonable and legal. All you have to do is register the dang thang --and check it, figuratively, at the saloon door. What's the fuss?
