>In the United States, the government has no power to "allow citizens to carry guns." The right to keep and bear arms comes from the Creator, not the government. It is a "natural right."<
Yes, well, tell that to the government. It is bent on removing that right from the American people. And God help us if the people sit still for it.
According to an English friend who winters in Florida and spends considerable time at a public shooting range, handguns are strictly forbidden in the UK and it is quite expensive and difficult to legally own a shotgun or rifle. He keeps his entire firearms collection at his home in FL year round rather than struggle with the restrictions and expenses of keeping them at his home in London.
There is more than one way for the government to make it impractical to legally own a gun even if it is technically possible. For example, here in the states it is theoretically possible to legally own a handgun in NYC IF you have the proper permit. But in practical terms a person will not be able to obtain a permit unless he or she is one of the rich and famous folk who have an "in" with the city authorities. As the situation was explained to me by my friend Tom, the London authorities have made it so difficult to legally possess any type of firearm anywhere within in the city's environs that for all practical purposes it may as well be considered impossible. Perhaps he is exaggerating the problems, I can't say because I have no personal experiences in that area.
Are you a member of PETA too? (People who Eat Tasty Animals)
No, they will not have 3+ years. That is the COMBINED sentence and one of the demented is already half way through his 1 1/2 year sentence. Besides, these deluded simpletons don't care. They don't have jobs and they aren't smart enough to know their lives are a waste. They are life-long, career protestor/criminals that should be charged as terrorists.
To me, the real shame is that they got the people they terrorized to change their behavior. ANyone know where I can get one of those stickers the losers were so upset about? I'd love one of these pussies to try that on me.
Going a bit off topic, your comment reminded me of a woman I work with who is from Mass. She has an Electrical Engineering degree and a Masters in Business. We were talking politics and she is an avowed Hillary lover and a democrat---but she had no idea if her type was on the left or the right. I'm not kidding. She was clueless as to which is which. Now I know why Teddy the Swimmer keeps getting elected!
In what? Women's studies?
What the fans of Manchester United do after a game (and before a game)
I'd love to see them try something like this in Texas.
Headline would run along the lines of:
"Armed 75-Year Old Grandma Shoots 3 Attackers"
HAH!
That'd automatically make any car a classic!
Annoying moonbats is the greatest hobby in the world, IMHO.
So much for the dunkirk spirit.
It sure doesn't take much to upset such 'tolerant' people does it?
I try to avoid them anymore, I won't debate with them unless they're the non-venemous type and are willing to listen to things that contradict their thoughts/opinions.
I've been thinking about starting a 'money jar', anytime I hear these freaks moaning about something I put a couple bucks in to donate to conservative candidates come campaign season. Lord knows the average liberal will never put their money where their mouth is.
Been thinking the same for NRA/pro-gun groups too, everytime I hear anti-gun nonsense in the press.
Could be broke quickly!!!
LOL!

It's whats for Dinner!
