With all these rude comments most of you are allienating an honest "about to be" gun owner. He never asked to change the law but to execise his right the law already grants him but ran into administrative problems. He was asking our help to get through that problem and he has been hammered down. No wonder the "American gun culture is fading".
Based on the comments here when Americans visit bars in Europe they should not be allowed to drink if under the age of 21, should not be allowed to have sex with local women if under the age 17 (in most countires 14 and above is legal) should not be allowed to smoke pot in designated places, should not be allowed to be publicly intoxicated and urinate in public because it is all the privilige of local citizens only.
BTW: most Europian contries DO allow firearm ownership. England is the bad apple in the EU but most others like Sweden, Finland, Switzerland has fairly liberal (less liberal compared to the US though) gun licensing. One thing that is quite different: you cannot use greater force for self defense than what has been used by your attecker. Hence killing somebody in self defense is never justified. But doing the same as an officer or a licensed security guard at work can be justified based on the circumstances.
