    I think your statistic on Honduras is incorrect - what I read states that both citizens and non-citizen permanent residents can own many different types of guns. Apparently up until the mid-80s there were no laws regarding gun ownership and guns. Restrictions have gradually come in over the years.

    I've never been to Honduras but I've been to Switzerland three times and I can tell you, you'd never mistake it for being in the USA. The Swiss are fanatically law-abiding and totally happy with restrictions. The laws around screening out who can't own a firearm include prohibiting anyone with a criminal record or record of mental illness, only allowing purchase from an authorized source, and three weapons per person.

    Some sources I've read say that open carry is common in Switzerland, but I have to say I don't think I ever saw someone openly carrying a firearm there. Perhaps that's more concentrated in certain areas.

    it's a thousand percent inaccurate and I apologize for breaking my own cardinal sin: check your fucking sources three times over!!!! forget what I said as after I actually did research I found out honduras citizens can own firearms. my bad on that and it won't happen again. dumb ass Facebook.

    Sheesh.
    I fucked up bad, but I am seeing pearl jam tomorrow in central park!!!!!!
    And now you're a braggart.

    That I am!! Next tour we got to get beers before a show!!!

    Perfect!

    Now... for the record... I'm not afraid of the States- I love it there actually. I've spent time in Boston on two occasions. I go to the Gorge every labour day weekend for 2 DMB shows... my family and I go to Hawaii the last 4 springs (and we just booked Kauai to make it 5)... lots of time spent in Spokane... Seattle for Mariners games every year... and PJ shows in Seattle (every 5 years when they play there)... and I could continue, but I'll stop.

    If the damn dollar wasn't the shits... I'd go there more. Sucks losing 35 cents on the dollar every time the visa gets swiped.

    1000% inaccurate - I love this. I've been trying to think just how bad something would need to be to be 1000% inaccurate.

    Funny as a lad we was given a really nice pellet rifle with scope. Ended up trading it for a backpack to go hiking.
