To quote Rhodesia's Ian Smith, "This would be comic, were it not so tragic." No, sir, they often don't wait a whole five weeks - why, some of them li'l critters wait a year or more to pop their wives and collect on the life insurance... as I said, America is deeply in love with gun culture, its mythology and its mystification into godlike status. They see themselves like the old Western homesteaders, protecting their houses and their kinfolk from the marauding devils outside.

Can you imagine the scene, where twenty kids with 'concealed weapons permits', having no idea who started the ruckus, all draw on everyone else they've seen draw? If their skills are anything like the American military's penchant for shooting up friendly troops and civilians, I imagine the death toll would be in the hundreds by now.
