It's true that every once in a while some deranged person will go off and
kill a few innocent people in the US.  I'll take this and freedom over
"ethnic cleansing" in Europe any day.  Imagine if you will, how things
might have been different in just 1/4 of the half-million or so Kosovar
refugees had been armed?  But that didn't happen because the EU doesn't
tolerate "gun violence".  Anyone willing to give up freedom for security
deserves neither.
