American Gun Culture

Last lesson Farrah told us some facts about America and their rights to bear arms and now I'm going to summarize this information for you.

There are three reasons why the Americans wear weapons:
- One of them struggle against the British. People have guns to make sure that the government doesn't go bad.
- Another reason is the frontier life. People who live in at the frontier have to protect them of their own because there is no police quite close.
- They also need the guns for hunting.

We also talked about a group of guys who are called "Redneck". They wear old jeans, caps, drink beer and they also have a beer belly. They are uneducated and they don't care about what other people think.

At the end, we watched a short video on "Youtube" and it was about the shooting in Arizona. A young republican man wanted to kill the congress woman. He shot the woman into her head, but unfortunately the woman lives. The doctor mentioned that she is in good condition for someone who is shot in head.

I'm glad that in Austria people need a licence to wear guns.
