It happended to a Japanese kid too. He was going to a party and he knocked
on the wrong door. The home-owner shot him. I know it was somewhere down
south but I'm not quite sure where anymore. Gotta love those good old boys
and their NRA (National Rifle Ass. for those not of USA). The NRA actually
lobbied that assault weapons were hunting rifles. Course they didn't mention
that unloading a clip from a m16 into a deer doesn't leave much meat for
dinner. Beside is we had good gun laws. SR would have been set in a
different country.
