    Now that is an excellent point. We "non yanks" ought to cease sticking our noses into American treachery in Irak, and Afghanistan, and Libya, and Syria, and Venezuela, and Iran, and Bosnia, and Cuba, and Vietnam, and Cambodia, and Laos, and China, and Russia, and North Korea, and Nicaragua, and San Salvador, and Guatemala, and Chile, and Haiti, and Grenada, and Honduras, and Panama, and Palestine, and Lebanon, and Pakistan, and Somalia, and the Philippines. After all, that's "America's business" and we have nothing to say about it. Let us follow America's example and keep our noses out of other nation's business.

    Yes, and what is far worse, they even have taxation laws, you are not allowed to go over a Mommy government speed limit, and can you believe it? They even make you stop at red lights. So unfair, I know. That would never happen in the USA, we know that much.

    I've proved in another thread that the murder rate is not very much higher than any other comparable countries.

    Note comparable countries.

    The US is not comparable to Europe or Australia. You're going to need a whole lot more immigration to get to that point.


    Here's that other thread:
    U.S. homicide rates compared to different countries

    Again, a cherry-picked list of countries.

    Have any countries that are not majority ethnic Western European, white English-speaking, or ethnic Northeast Asian (Chinese, Korean, Japanese)?

    See , in China, the government kills about a couple million of their unarmed citizens every year , but that doesn’t get reported as “ gun deaths” or “gun violence” cause it’s just typical Communist Marxist Left government exercising necessary authority to keep the boot on the throat so the other 1.3 billion will be kept in perpetual fear and thus never consider individual freedom and liberty as attainable

    Remember the yanks get their 2nd amendment obsession from us, one of the reasons for the Glorious Revolution was James 2nd trying to take his opponents guns away

    Now ain’t that sumpin’! Americans criticize China’s violence and blame it on Communism. But when it comes to violence in the U.S. ... they support it. What’s to blame for that – Capitalism?

    We don’t support it, in fact we want guns to defend ourselves from it. Significant difference.

    You can do as you please, as will I. Just was a suggestion. Our guns will remain in our hands regardless. The left is far to weak to take them.

    No?
    That's called support by way of contribution. Significant difference.

    You can give up your rights I don't care. I'm not giving up mine because you don't understand reality.

    Incorrect, by defending myself from violence is not at all supporting it. That’s illogical.

    The best way to protect myself against a violent law breaker who will always have access to a gun, I need a gun.

    No where in my post did I say that, no rational person could come to that conclusion that I support breaking the law.
    The reality is we can have guns and that will always be the case. The left is to weak to take them. And by having one to protect myself against a law breaker who will always have access to them is necessary.

    i said weak, not week. Read better.

    So you are against eliminating guns for that reason? Where's the logic you speak of?

    Eliminating guns is impossible, so I support our ability to have them to serve as the best equalizer we can have. Criminals will always have access, that is the reality of the situation.

    I believe Americans should be allowed to own nothing more dangerous than a fork and only after a certified training course in ones use.
