They should make it as hard to pass the driving test as it is to get a gun.. oh, they already have..

It has an 84 page manual
You're lucky to have a manual. Nowadays manuals for anything seem to have to be downloaded which is a pest.
Off to the John Otway convention in Southend tomorrow.

You can get a driver license at 16; you have to be 21 to purchase a handgun.
Purchasing a firearm requires an FBI background check. You can still get a driver license if you have a criminal record. Hell, in some states you don't even have to be in the country legally and they'll still give you a license.
Don't you all have driving lessons at school or something as well?
Drivers Ed! That's definitely a thing.

Yeah, but I don't know if it's mandatory; it wasn't when I was a teenager. It all varies from state to state.
Ah. I'm getting most of my knowledge from all the '90s American high school novels I used to read.

A whole miserable five years driving around sober looking at all the people you could be drunkenly shooting.
And as for guns you can have a rifle!

Most of my neighbors' kids had/have one of those.

I too base my knowledge of American high school culture off of Saved By The Bell.

Most of the kids in the UK have one of these for cricket - much safer.

A new H&M is opening here tomorrow morning in the middle of the city. There are already a two outside the CBD but they have been easy to avoid since I have no reason to go there. The new will be on my way home from work so might not be so good for my bank balance.
I do love an H&M.

I've seen Shaun of the Dead and those things can be lethal.
