not to mention all the american kids with guns. maybe N's theory could only work in an era where inocence was possible (and i mean inocence in the sense of "knowing no harm").
i thought i heard on the news the other night some american father saying the problem wasn't that kids had guns, but that all kids didn't have guns. if all kids had them, there wouldn't be these shootings.
