Sorry, but what liberites have we given up here? We've got Security, OK, we don't have fire-arms in every home, but we also don't have people sniping out of the back of cars, or kids shooting their class-mates because a girl turned them down, or daily drive-by shootings, etc. etc. I personally would rather be in a country where I can't be shot because some asshole decides he's had a bad day for some perceived liberty that we've lost...
