   Nope, but I bet you're getting ready to use a whole lot of straw.

   That's not what you said. If you wish to backpedal, it's a bit too late for   
   that.   
      
      
   > Are you seriously telling me that all citizens in the US are allowed

   Where did I say that?

   > If not, why not?   
      
   Because I didn't say that.

   Where did I say that?   
      
   (Straw man #2)   
      
   However, to be honest, every home in America is packed with bomb making   
   equipment, if you know how to use it.   
      
   > You don't foresee any problems with that?   
      
   Not really, because the overwhelming majority of people are law abiding and   
   criminals don't care about the law anyway.   
      
   > Interesting, but stupid!   
      
   You're not that interesting, but you certainly are stupid.   
      
   > Mind you, you also don't foresee a problem with homes being packed

   Where did I say that?   
      
   (Straw man #3)   
      
   > Yep! Those guns sure are making things safer, Jethro.  LOL   
      
   Overall they are. Around 1.5-2.5 million defensive gun uses each year   
   according to studies.

   Oh, well as long as YOU believe it....then who needs proof, right?
