I'd just like to add that I don't get this thing with guns. Americans say 
it's to protect themselves and their families, but really, is it that
dangerous not to possess a gun? Basically, the bad guys are the ones you
have to worry about, right? And usually, the bad guys are probably some 
sort of criminals, right? Hmmm... okay.. what beats me is this.. neither
me or my friends have actually seen a hardcore criminal.. actually, my
home has even been robbed once, but did I see the criminal? No.

What I'm trying to say is that carrying guns just because you're afraid
of criminals is like buying a box of rats because you fear elephants will
come down and demolish your home. That's how I feel the situation in 
Norway is, anyway. Is it really that different in the States? Are 
criminals and bad guys that common?
