"Obviously, the propaganda fed to you by your government in London in regards to events that happen in the US is severely mis-satated."

Thank you for your comments. I do appreciate your elucidation and your politeness, but I ought to point out they are slightly top-heavy with assumptions.
I happen to be an American living in London a great deal of my time and I do not feed on government propaganda, USA's or UK's.

"Yes, innocent people do accidentally get hurt and even killed here on occasion by uneducated and irresponsible gun owners. Statistically, these events pale in comparison to deaths caused by cars, doctors, diseases, etc."

I have great difficulty in coming to terms with the notion that human lives are mere statistics.

"Frankly, I for one am not interested in being forced into a lifestyle similar to your country. An unarmed populace has no recourse if the wrong individual manages to make it into a position of power. WWII is a fine example of what can happen when the citizens of a country become unarmed peasants."

Part of the answers are given above. I am sure you have convincing historical reasons for your views and would hope you allow me to have mine, at least to the extent of expressing them.

"If you don't like how we live here in the US, that is fine. You however do NOT have the right to badmouth how another person choses to live - ESPECIALLY when you don't live here."

Perhaps a re-read of the statement would obviate the notion of badmouth, for far from it was the intended meaning. It would also apply to car drivers, parachute jumping and most things we do, where a risk is inherent.

Thanks once again for your comments.
