I would not go to Germany or Australia for example and begin ragging on aspects of their culture that I didn't like and there are things I don't like about both countries because to do so would be rude and disrespectful.

And make no mistake, showing disrespect is exactly what Cybermat was intending when he put up this thread.

Respect is a two-way street. You've said the same thing to multiple people over the past few days. I'm not a part of this gun culture, and I find it completely alien to me. Am I to be silenced as well?

Oh yeah you want to tell a woman who has a violent ex boyfriend stalking her to use a long bow like a real man if she wants to defend herself? You want to tell an elderly person or handicapped person what weapons you feel they don't need to protect themselves?

Do you use a long bow?
