Does Avril really have political views? Other than the Las Vegas post, she's never been active on that aspect, at least not publicly. In the Let Go era she was more outspoken. She wasn’t a fan of President Bush or his decision to go to war. But I’m sure she learned quickly about getting backlash from the public for even talking about it at all instead of just her music, so that’s probably why since then she hasn’t been as outspoken.

You don't. Just change the one that's outmoded and ambiguously-worded, and leave the rest alone. Make it so you can own a shotgun or hunting rifle if you really must, but not something you can lay down suppressing fire with. Civilians have no business owning such things, I don't care if you live in a rough neighborhood or out in the sticks. I find it interesting that a nation founded a mere 200 years ago is so hung up on tradition and will take this at face value. Becky pointed out that it has in fact been changed since it was first written. I'm not a historian and I don't know the exact details of how these changes came about, but if you did it once then you can do it again. It's like part of the American psychology WANTS these things to be everywhere. This is why people get annoyed and start calling you rude things out of frustration and bewilderment. It just makes no sense to them. Alex, I posted a link to give you some insight but I can't make you read it. Perhaps you should. www.revolutionary-war-and-beyond.com/2nd-amendment.htmlAmerica hasn't gone socialist yet like the rest of Europe so I understand why you don't get it. That's fine.

I don't really give a shit. I made mini-uzis for the Americans with my own hands for years. Totally impractical gun whose only purpose is to hurt people. If they want to live among weapons like this, go ahead, their funeral. Just thought America would be a nicer holiday destination without the guns. And by the way my grandad fought in the second world war, conscripted from Australia. Squadron leader of the Royal Australian Air force so don't give me any shit about Nazis. Nazis were everybody's problem. Son, they were everyone's problem and my Father helped defeat them for you. Your welcome.

I think most of the mass shootings (in schools) here in Germany were done with guns the guys stole from their own parents (mostly the parents owned the guns because of shooting-sports and didnt place them in a secure storage). In cases were they didnt have this easy access to weapons they used other things (such as knifes or axes) and a lot less people were killed. Of course, if you really want to get a gun, you will find ways to get them. Especially when you are not a child/teenager but an adult with money etc. - but the easy access that you find in the US might support mass shootings. I agree with Marliz at this point. I have never been to the US and I dont need to go there to know that you guys dont need all these guns. Everybody knows enough about the USA to form an opinion about your gun laws. I think it's just a weird education to "brainwash" people that they need guns and that it's their personal right and an expression of freedom, but I can see why it's difficult for some US-americans to understand the problematic about the gun laws when they were growing up with this "gun-progaganda". From my german point of view, it just looks weird. Wasn't Germany's problem her susceptibility to "propaganda" and "brainwashing" from you know who which led to WW2? That is why we took all your guns away. So I can see why it's weird to you.

I agreed with you up until your last sentence. Not understanding why a culture does something isn’t justification for calling them stupid or insulting them. Insulting another country and it’s culture isn’t going to help things get better. I’m done. I gave my 2 cents, gave the American perspective you all asked to hear. It just keeps going in circles. I don’t think either side will be convinced to change their view. I come here for Avril, I’m typically not one to engage in political debates, especially when it doesn’t go anywhere. I’m out. I didn't say it was justified, and staff don't want to see any more of it. Buuuuuuut as an 'outsider' I can totally see WHY people get weirded out and frustrated. Plenty of Americans would have much worse things to say about themselves, I'm sure. So you want the last word with yet another insult? Wow, you are a great Moderator. I offer an olive branch and you pile on.

I offer an olive branch and you pile on. I meant it in regards to the gun debate. If you think ALL Americans are pro-gun or even conditionally pro-gun then I don't even know what to say.
