woo, hold your horses, August. It is a weak-counter-argument to the blunt generalization that all (U.S.) gun owners have somehow a fetish, to generalize yourself and call all Germans judgemental.
Especially in GT, we all make our judgement calls, towards other views and towards other nations. I think Sky's view is (in this case!

) quite represantative of the German view about American gun owners. Making a statement which already defines a law with all exceptions is not.
I speak for a minority here when I call this proposal idiotic, making nearly every Glock owner illegal - though I find it funny that it is called 308...
Personally I felt much more safer in states that allow open or concealed carry than in other states. Most owners I met are not distinguishable in their mental health from their non-owning counterparts - and yes: I've been to gun fairs in the deep South
