It's as if the guns where a part of their body, maybe their child, the blood of their blood, the flesh of their flesh. When I see people being happy receiving a weapon for chrisman of birthday, as if they achieved a goal in their life, as if you can't be an american citizen without possessing a weapon, I find it quite ... pelicular.
I'm like "yeah ... I only know the AK 47 why you try to give me a whole lesson?"

There are plenty of American families who don't worship guns, or own them. For some receiving a BB gun or their first .22 at Christmas is like a passage to adult hood, and the mark of being responsible with said weapon.
