Hoewel het vandaag met de miserabele dollar zeer goedkoop is om naar de VS te reizen, moet u de aanschaf van een kogelvrije vest en helm toch in rekening nemen. Die uitrusting kost veel geld. Maar ze hebben wel schone modellekes.

Zo constant in de angst moeten leven om op klaarlichte dag door uw buurman of schoolgenoten doodgeschoten te worden - het kan niet gezellig zijn. Misschien zijn Amerikanen toch niet zo vrij? En misschien verklaart gun-ownership wel hun neurotische, zelfs mild psychotische aard. Wie weet.
