If you ship to be sheep, so be it. You can have my guns when you pry them from my cold dead fingers. |

| Yup! When the Communists first took over the area where he lived, they appeared to be good rulers. They established law and order and cleaned up the traffic in drugs and prostitutes. Then one day the Communist bosses announced, "You can see that we have established a good society and you have no need for your guns. Everyone must come in the night and dump all guns in the town square." The people believed and obeyed. The next day, the reign of terror began, with public executions and cruel imprisonments. Everyone accused of being a "landlord" was dragged through the streets and executed; a "landlord" was anyone who farmed his little plot of ground with two water buffalo instead of one. |

| Ok, I am in law enforcement and recently I became a member of our Special response team. Once you have been a member for a year you get a coin to carry. Its for coin "checking" eachother. Well since I am a FNG on the team I was instructed to get a rock, and paint it blue. I have to carry it 24/7 and if a senior member of the team was to catch me without it, I would be doing pushups till I puke.

This was also a time when slavery was considered essential by many "land owners" in the US, women didn't get a vote. It was considered acceptable to wipe out the continents native population and Americans were killing each other at an alarming rate during the civil war. Things change. I do not consider myself a "slave" yet i own not 1 firearm. So that kinda blows that statement out of the water. Gun deaths per 100,000 population (for the year indicated):
Or Although i posted facts as these are substantive and quantifiable, i was really just going on personal experience. When i've been over in the US most shootings no longer even make the evening news unless there is some kind of weird or more shocking than usual circumstance involved. This is coming from a guy that was raised in a area notorious for gun crime yet we experienced only 1 tragic of murder related to firearms in 2 years. 2006/2007 there were a total of 58 deaths in the entire country related to firearms. To put that into perspective. The UK is 244,820 square km in area and has a population of around 62,000,000. Had 58 gun related murders 06/07 Michigan is slightly bigger in size at 253,226 square km and has a substantially lower population at 10,000,000 Yet had 437 gun related murders last year. That's more than half the population, the same surface area yet 8 times higher gun related murder rate. This is not even looking at suicide or accidental death rates related to firearms. I don't see how anyone could argue that Europe is a safer pace to live with regard to fire arm murder. So i'm extremely happy with the firearm laws over here and can't help feeling if the US adopted the same laws it'd be a hell of a lot safer place to live for you guys, your kids and grandkids. If that means tearing up some old out of date piece of paper in the process then to my mind at least that's an extremely small price to pay for my kids safety To reiterate i am no anti-gun nut. I love shooting and i love guns, i'm talking 100% here about hand guns. Other than competitive target shooting i see no place in this day and age for a civilian to have a CCW (which is a hand gun in 99.99%). In the respect of fairness i got most of my statistics from these following links that were the first the came up from various searches. http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datab...crime-us-state http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6960431.stm#map http://www.gun-control-network.org/GF01.htm http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question...6073842AALenS2 Cheers Mark | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I guess it's difficult to understand something you have never had. You can keep your "facts" and I'll keep my guns! |
