Yes, of course this is a stereotype and thus not representative of all (most?) Americans. However I know no Americans so only have stereotypes to go on! :roll: There is a common perception that guns are commonplace, or even expected, in America. Is that not the case?

your title insinuates this is normal for us. i am merely stating this is not normal in the us.

Ok, I hope the title didn't cause any offence. As I said I just associated that video with my perception of America's attitude towards guns. If you are saying that this is not a true picture, then I will gladly consider changing my opinion :-)

I think the perception that America is gun-crazed is common outside the US. It is certainly the image of the US I was brought up with. Of course if that is an error in my views then I will consider changing them, given the proper research to justify it of course :-)
