You miss the point as usual. We have it built into our constitution, they cannot take it away. I'd much rather live here then where I'm not on equal terms with the bad guys and police
I missed the point? As far as im aware the constitution says you have the right to bear arms, i dont think that by restricting certain firearms you are going against the constitution? You would still have the right to bear arms, just not hi-tech military grade arms. Apart from the fact they may well be good fun to shoot (at targets) i cant see any justification for owning many of these more powerful guns with high capacity magazines and fast fire-rates?
You missed that our military has an obligation to defend the constitution and I have faith they will not attack the citizens
So in effect there is no real need for an armed militia then anyway?
Nice how you don't care to address the meat of any pro gun argument on this forum. how about the 170,000,000 killed by tyrants. try and discuss 1 topic
Wtf are you talking about? Did i not mention the Arab springs? These folks unseated tyrants who ruled over them by protest and civil disobedience, and won. The meat of any Pro-gun arguement? Why would i be pro-gun? Guns have no place in a modern civilised society? If i lived in a country where i felt so scared of coming under attack in the street or in my home that i felt i had to arm myself then i would be asking serious questions of my country, my government, my police forces and my sanity. Is that how you see it, its so dangerous you must have access to a gun? If so, thats a sad situation to live in. If on the other hand you just happen to enjoy guns and shooting then fine, but dont use b.s excuses to try make it out to be somekind of security against a possible future tyranical government.
And what I'm saying about sticking to politics in yourpart of the world is that you obviously know nothing about them in my part of the world. Like I said nothing from me on your countries policies as I'm ignorant of them just as it's so obvious your ignorant of ours.
Despite what you think i am in fact not ignorant of US gov and politics. In fact i am probably better informed than the majority of American citizens who get their daily political fix from Fox or the liberal equivalent. Politics is actually interesting to me, for both good and bad reasons. I dont get you 08, i really dont....... I would have no problem hearing what other foreign people think of my country or its policies and politics, its good to find out how other percieve you around the world (maybe not so good tho if youre American?). I value others input and comments, it often give me something to think about or gives another angle i hadnt always seen.
On a side note: Where the hell is Mad Dog?
Dont know what you mean? Only "Mad Dog" i know of is Gadaffi, and hes dead.
We're not to judge all Muslims by the acts of a few "crazies," but the acts of a few American crazies is enough to judge all Americans who own guns.
Very true, yes, i totally agree. I dont. I have many American friends, most online but a couple of "real life" ones too. Being such a huge country with such a large population im sure you have all kinds there, as we have here. The thing that gets me, and most other non-Americans, is tho WHY is NOTHING done to stop or at least minimise tbe risk of these incidents happening again? As a responsible gun owner i would be demanding action to stop my name being blackened futher by the next loon who goes on a rampage with a weapon? I would be happy to see certain controls or measures put in place to help protect innocents being murdered, and to prevent my hobby/sport/interest being dragged down (as it is now) even if that meant i may have to give up that one particular type of gun or ammo or have access to them heavily restricted. I also agree you need better access to mental health care, whether you have ins or not. Guns are not the whole problem here, but they are part of the problem.
So do you think no gun control at all is needed? Or some kind of control or new improved check/monitoring is needed? I have friends here who shoot clay's and one hunts dear and birds, both have gun licenses but had to jump thro hoops to get them, agreeing to random home checks by the police, proper background checks and both know if they get into any trouble with the pokice or courts they have a real good chance of losing their gun license. Neither of them has ANY real problem complying, they can see it stops anyone just owning a gun, it helps weed out the nuts and unstable folk and keeps their sport/hobby from being dragged down by a few psychos.
