Of course, it is not weird nor odd, rather a common theme going on.

I'll never understand Murica and their guns. My cousin was born here but moved to L.A when he was 2 and he is in lock up because of bloody guns...when i say they should be banned i get lambasted by Americans...
Right or wrong, it’s in their constitution. Get over it.
yup, i suppose i should just get over my cousin being nonsensically locked up for 35 years. Just human life. Watevers.
It is not the guns that are the problems, it is the mentality behind it. Other countries have the same right to own a gun, but do not invoke that right at the same rate.
Even in countries where the level of gun ownership is high, they generally don't discharge them at their neighbours, classmates, work colleagues and the general population at the same rate.
While your cousins situation is terrible, I would suggest that it is unlikely that he is locked up for 35 years for owning a gun. He may have done something with it, which is a decision that he made.
The real question should not be whether or not Yanks should have guns, it should be whether or not they should reproduce.....
