It might be allowed to own guns in your country but I think that is big mistake. I sincerely hope that the new president will take the right measures to ban them out. At least that will make me feel a bit more safe when visiting the USA. And it will be much more effective for safety than all the stupid security checks at the airports. Cheers, Michiel Fokkema
