Yes, what a shame that the cowards didn't succeed in making Americans as helpless against criminals as most of us Europeans are.

They are. Criminals are cowards, so they won't commit armed robberies that easy if ordinary people can shoot back on them. But here in Europe the politicians and news reporters twist all that statistics, and my naïve European fellows usually believe them, not only the Swedes.

It's a shame we don't have an NRA in Sweden. I know some guys that are shooting club members and have about the same opinions on guns as the NRA, but they'd risk their licenses if they'd go out with those opinions openly. Or their club membership, which would make the cops revoke their licenses anyway.  :(

Yeah, maybe we could have Charlton Heston as some kind of honorary moron, too. "Over. My. Cold. Dead. Hands."

That's weird. According to the original meaning of the word "liberal" (Latin "liber" means "free"), a liberal should be pro guns, not against them.
