So the gov't increased taxes on people so it could then "buy" guns from those very same people? Suckers.
DITTO!
The Colonists faced off against the most powerful nation in the world and won. Today we face the dangers of the most powerful government in history and, with guns, we have kept it at bay so far. The rest of the world fails to realize what it would be like if they had to deal with an unchecked American government. They owe us a debt of gratitude.
Dumbass article.
It is NOT debateable.
After the UK and Australia/NZ did their hopolophobic thing with gun confiscation—robbery went up 44% in BOTH areas.
Of COURSE crime went up!
And don’t forget the smell. I love the smell of a range.
All "Utopian" dreamers either ignore that a tame and peaceful society is vulnerable to anyone who decides to hurt them, or secretly wants to be one of those who are in position to do the harm.
And, we play real football without rioting and stomping each other to death.
Some?
Why not Most?
Cold,
dead,
Hands .
Why Americans won’t give up our guns?? To protect ourselves from the following: 1)Government, 2)Terrorists 3)Obama Americans (aka thugs).
Saw a recent list of murder rates for countries and the US ranked very low. Could it be that our gun ownership prevents far more deaths than it causes? Probably, but the government control freaks would never admit to that. Author of this article specified gun deaths to prove his point but ended up giving false data by excluding other causes of death. If guns are not available and an individual is determined, they will find another means of killing someone.
It’s those bitter clingers
“Euro-peons” LOL Very good!
The jerk writer needs to read the American Rifleman, which every month has numerous articles about someone with a gun STOPPING a murder, violent crime, rape, etc.
No other media collects and talks about these types of stories, but they plentiful.
For every Veronica Rutledge (tsk-tsk bad guns) incident, there are dozens of heinous crimes STOPPED because of guns. Of course, the jackass writing this knows it, but refuses to describe or acknowledge it.
I won’t because I don’t want to and they cannot make me unless they kill me.
Guns have been a part of America since the first Pilgrims landed.
The first gun laws were in Massachustts, er, Massatusis, Aw shucks, the area around the Boston area in which a person was not allowed to travel unless fully armed, and a person was REQUIRED to bring their gun to church.
When the first American came to a new land without LORDS and LADIES, PRINCES, Counts and Vis Counts, they threw off the chains of serfdom they suddenly began to feel like FREE MEN and have never looked back.
Now certain elitists want us to return to the days of bowing and scraping to the “Lards and Laddies”.
Do you realize there are hidden caches of Russian weapons hidden through out the USA smuggled in back during the COLD WAR? They were to be given to infiltrators if a real war between the USA and the USSR broke out.
Europeans have had thousands of years of serfdom to various elites and would not know how to act in a truly FREE society.
It has been said you could pick out an American tourist in the old EUROPE because they walked UPRIGHT with ASSURANCE and not bent over with their head down.
...all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
The British police state. Here defined as any state which has a monopoly on firearms ownership.
Although the reality of modern Britain is that it really is just a smiley face fascist police state. And since it now focuses on depriving the native white English of their rights, it’s one of the worst in history.
