I hope that isn't Brienne of Tarth unsheathing her weapon. All too gender bendy for me.

Interesting you mention zombies. My wife, who is British and like many Brits has been brainwa.... er has adapted to the prevalent thinking that guns are inherently dangerous in all cases, does not shoot (although she has sent me off with a packed lunch to go shooting a few times and seen me come back safely, which seems a paradox given the supposed danger of guns). Anyway even though she doesn't shoot, he does say that at the first sign of the Zombie Apocalypse coming, she will go to the range and learn to shoot. Guns are very useful when it comes to zombies.

I didn't. It was mentioned by 7 year old girl as one of the reasons for having a gun. As for your wife; she married you.

His more extreme views make his position on guns look almost normal.

Guns don't kill three year olds; six year olds kill three year olds.

And in the twisted logic of gun-world, watch this get spun as an example of why banning guns 'doesn't work' (Chicago is supposedly a 'gun free zone').

Insanity.

So in America:
A six year old shoots a three year old
A 12 year old girl was killed by a stray bullet: http://jezebel.com/dejah-joyner-12-killed-in-her-l...
And somebody opened fire at a zombie convention, killing one and injuring four: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/f...

And what are Americans (not sure of the sample size/weighting of survey) afraid of?
http://www.breitbart.com/california/2015/10/17/pol...

That's right-gun control is more scary to them than mass shootings

Given that the article you linked refers to Obama "providing healthcare to illegal immigrants" and "assailing gun owners", it's hardly an unbiased source, but interesting anyway.

Yes-I included my doubts about the sources because it's breitbart-but it's still a pretty eye-opening result.

Breitbart in general carries some errrm interesting views on guns

There is a thread on a work related forum I frequent on this subject. The Americans on there are resolute that guns aren't the problem. I can post a link if you want.

If only they had more guns to somehow stop them shooting them with their other guns.

Guns don't kill three year olds; six year olds kill three year olds.
The obvious solution is that all three year olds should be armed. An armed six year old wouldn't shoot an armed three year old, so in this example the three year old was asking for it.
