I kinda asked the same thing yesterday @Heartlander ... and I found out it's all about freedom which is like a delicious bowl of ice-cream that I can't understand 'cause I'm not American enough.
I'm so happy that I don't understand this. I think freedom should have a price, certain tragedies are trully unavoidable and limiting your freedom because of that rare tragic event should not be done. But something that repeats itself like clockwork? Considering other examples of people that don't like ice-cream so much, I think you peeps can do a lot better.
