As a non-American, I find this whole thread kinda funny

and it makes me curious at the same time :)
I am tired of asking myself the same question all over again "what is it with Americans and their guns"

so I'll just assume it's a historical thing/tradition :)
Much like the Dutch do iceskating, the Belgians love cycling etc I guess.
ps: talking about Belgium, any of you guys own a FN-weapon of some sort? (one of our most infamous export products)
