Hey, what about those here who are not Americans? I can't really own a gun due to that, even if it is not completely impossible in Finland getting one is pretty difficult these days and takes time (you need to join a gun club, start training with air guns and maybe be allowed to ascent to real guns after a year or so, then keep shooting loaned guns, maybe after a couple of years you will get the permits to buy one real one for yourself, and all of that also costs quite a bit and you will end up in lots of official records and the police will start to keep at least bit of an eye on you...), and I could not carry legally (only hunters can, when hunting).

Garden would be nice, but I live in an apartment building, and while I do have a balcony it's pretty minuscule.

Democrats? Nope, don't trust, nor a lot of your Republican politicians either, but that doesn't really matter one way or another because I will not vote in your elections.

I presume the first two in that list mostly mean "be prepared for when the brown matter hits the fan".

Heh. About that bit how owning a gun means you will be at least somewhat under police observation, or at the very least they will check on you from time to time... considering what things are like in EU, although they don't say it my guess is that simply because I do hang out in a few places like this one I am already under at least some observation. Which, BTW, has been the reason why there have been long periods when I don't post or comment. Doing it does worry me a bit.
