Some countries have a culture to sustain you know!
Sustain and promote. Would you believe you can get a license to carry a
concealed weapon if you are 15 years old in my state? Indeed, the newest
members of the state legislature have proposed removing the burden of
licensing. Having successfully removed the ban on guns in the State House
they moved on to stripping colleges of the right to ban guns on campus.
As one member of the opposing political party put it: "guns, guns and
more guns anywhere, anytime for anybody!".
