Funny, I thought Glocks were made in Europe. Along with the P-90. Anyhow.... Most American's will probably never touch, own, or need a gun either. And for those who do, they shouldn't be looked down upon. When I live in England, guns were rare (not non-existant) among people (not just the criminals). However, many Brits possessed alternative offensive weapons (knives, small clubs, etc). At least in the US, target shooting is a recognized sport. I'm not sure if Knife-fighting, wood carving or head-bashing with small clubs is a sport in Europe. I suppose, guns and Americans seem connected due to the media. Many of our movies & television shows (action/adventure type shows) portray American's weilding guns. However, many foreign (foreign to Americans that is) movies/shows portray Europeans/Asian's wielding guns just as often. Its just that Most of the world watch American movies/show more than we watch foreign films. I can't blame Europeans for thinking that most American's are gun weilding madmen. It's a stereo-type. Much like the bad teeth thing for Brits, the hairy arm-pitted women of Europe, and the poor hygen of Italians, etc... They're all just Stereo-types, right? (except, that having lived in a rural part of the UK, I can attest to the bad teeth thing...)
