Oh yes, the US psyche is profoundly melodramatic. Take gun control. At the first sign of reasonable laws a certain section of the US EXPLODES! They talk as if one week after the authorities took their guns they would be Living under Russian occupation. Ridiculous!

This. I mean, seriously? A guy says "Hey, you know, could you, like, do background checks please? That'd be great." and everyone buys ammunition and fortifies their homes in preparation for a government crackdown. It's not that terrible to have to wait a little bit to buy a gun, you know.
