No, the 'home of the free part'. I have been chastised for our english
way of having rules for this that and the other and yet it often seems
that in some ways America is a far harder place to live than here. I
suppose, at the end of the day its just whatever you're used to. I'm
used to not having seen more than a handful of real guns in my whole
life (discounting museums) and if I ever got stopped for something I had
or hadn't done (when I was a naughty little boy) the last thing I
worried about was whether a sudden movement would put me in a wooden
box. Sadly, due to the influx of what appears to be gangsta culture it
is becoming more likely to be the victim of some sort of armed tragedy.
