The faggots can all go suck donkey dicks for all we care. Why do they obsess over us? Because we kicked their sorry asses out of here, twice? Because we saved their sorry asses from certain doom, TWICE? Fuck off, Limeys. In a few short years you bastards are going to be an Islamic Republic. Don't come running over here when they come to chop your miserable fucking heads off. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30124464 pretty simple really. Ah i see now, those poor defenceless kids are shit then? oh and those students ect ect ect. So how is banning guns gonna stop people shooting each other, they banned guns in Britain. Before the ban, shootings were I'm from Liverpool, were few and far between. Now every kid on every other street corner has a gun or has access to a gun, and shootings are a common thing. So tell me how banning guns has worked in Britain. I've even had the front windows of my own house blown through with a shotgun, so don't give me this banning guns stops shootings bullshit. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27162552 the dudes in canada and the UK still think they have a big empire, and they still think everyone in every other country should care about what they say lolz. all we have to do is point to WW2, and remind them they would both be talking german, if the USA had not saved them. |

Quoting: KromaZone Because it is far better to have, and not need, than to need and not have. |

Quoting: KromaZone My husband is American, and I asked him this the other day and it ended in a huge bust up because HE tells me most Americans are stupid (he is American and not stupid) so I just said and you would have stupid people with guns. This caused a huge argument which only ended with me tickling him to defuse the situation lol and I am not going to ask him again. But I was wondering this my self. I know a lot of people say gun crime is to do with race, although I think most of the mass shooting have been Caucasian shooters, at least the ones on the news. I have seen a pretty good documentary that seems pretty spot on to me and it just attributes it to Americans been more violent a population than European country's as the other country's with guns do not have the same problems as America. As you the OP are English we seem not to understand WHY the Americans need gun's. I know my husbands dad has one and he uses it to shoot squirrels so that they don't nick the bird food. and that's all I need to say about that. ![]() |

Will the government ban guns in America or is this a no go from the start? Also doesn't each state have its own kind of gun law? Quoting: KromaZone If the Americans need them to protect themselves from the government, dose the government not have bigger guns and tanks and you know such like ;0) If that is a valid reason one should be owning tanks and fighter jets and blah blah and what not. |

Quoting: KromaZone There are 80 million gun owners in the US. As somebody pointed out, we have the largest unofficial army in the world. No wonder China is "demanding" that we disarm. Good luck with that. As to why, I reckon we never got past our Wild West days. |

Quoting: KromaZone Assuming you are not trolling OP, this is an honest answer: From the point ot self defense: A gun is a tool, that works as an equalizer, thus allowing someone to defend himself/herself against larger or more numerous opponents. To have a gun is to take the responsability to provide for your own protection and wellbeing against those that seek to harm you or take what is legally yours. If you don´t have a gun, you are virtually defenseless against, larger, more vicious or a larger number of opponents, like this: [link to www.telegraph.co.uk] or like this: [link to www.dailymail.co.uk] or like this: [link to www.dailymail.co.uk] |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 29858290 12/17/2012 08:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I can't speak for other Americans but I find guns to be useful tools; for hunting, self-defense, and it is just plain fun to shoot. Again, I can't speak for other Americans but I have never once in 55 years thought that my guns were the solution to any problem other than hunting or, if the need arose, to protect myself. You all act as if guns have some sort of dark magical power that takes over the owner of firearms and causes them to go berserk and if we could just remove guns from society all these tragedies could be averted. I say you are delusional, the sad fact is there are monsters amongst us and if you take guns away they will find other ways - just imagine if that kid had brought balloons filled with gasoline or mixed bleach with ammonia in a bottle. |
