Say whatever you will about it... the US is the only (so called) civilized country with such an unhealthy "might makes right" approach on just about everything, be it foreign affairs or personal freedom, and they got handed it to them because of that time and time again since the 50ies.
The NRA, like Hollywood and a dozen other institutions, are merely figure heads of influential industrial lobbies that have been controling the country for well over 150 years... no matter why YOU think you are a gun owner (be it the need to defend your farm from the British crown or whatever), the real reason is: Somebody makes money of you.

Believe what? It was the original purpose of the second amendment, and even though it was reviewed by the congress atleast 4 times since the late 18th century, it never was really touched, only expanded...

The 2nd amendment has nothing to do with the silly notion that you overseas people seem to think that we are, to this day, still guarding ourselves from an friendly nation. While it may be popular rumor over there, I can assure you that the British are not in fact coming. Times have changed, time to update your history books.

I know that, all I'm saying that the "right to bear arms" originated there...
In my opinion, no civilized country, where wildlife is tamed and doesn't pose a threat to live and limb any longer, needs a law that legalises the use of, potentially deadly weapons to defend one self, simple as that.

Because they are kids, these concepts have to be taught... repeatedly. Still, giving guns to children is so over the top ridiculous it makes my stomach churn each time I see it on TV (there has been quite some news coverage about those "good American parents" in the last weeks). Seriously, nobody has the right to call her/himself a parent if she/he is ok with that kind of stuff... EDIT: I know, Americans are "brainwashed" by the NRA since earliest youth to see it as their "god given right" to bear arms and yadda yadda... but concider this: Over the last decade, approx 3.000 US citizens have been killed by terrorism, that's bad, but over 96.000 have been killed by guns in their own homes!
I'm not American, not a member of the NRA, live in a country with draconian firearms laws, still shoot regularly at my local gun club, still own my first firearm, although it's deactivated, and have been around guns since I was a small child, I was taught to shoot initially by my father on a military range, and later by qualified instructors who were also military personnel. There's nothing wrong with teaching kids firearms discipline, it's the ones that aren't taught that cause the problems. Too many people see firearms as status symbols and as an easy way to impose their will, not as tools that are designed to kill.
I consider my father a good parent, especially when it comes to firearms discipline. Before I was even allowed to handle one it was drummed into me that you never ever point one, loaded or not, at someone or something you aren't willing to kill. I've never even considered pointing one at anything other than an inanimate target, even during my own military service I think I would have had problems with shooting at a living being, luckily that was never put to the test.
A war hasn't been fought this badly since Olaf the Hairy, High Chief of all the Vikings, accidentally ordered 80,000 battle helmets with the horns on the inside. |

I find it hard to sympathise with idiots. A child is given a tool of which its sole purpose is to seriously injure or kill the person it's being pointed at. Such responsibility shouldn't even be given to the majority of adults let alone a child.
Though what happened was tragic, I wonder how many times it will happen again before anything is changed.
I love to reload during a battle!-áThere's nothing like the feeling of slamming a long silver missile into a well greased chamber... |

to be jonest i don't care about guns and americans
sometimes i have this opinion that alot of americans assdume that without atleast 3 firearms and a certain fuel hungry american made car you are not a real american man
sadly the firearms manufacturing industry in the USA fuels and promotes that concept without guns you ,not a real man
like i said the whole idea that you ne'ed firearms to protect your freedom from and to overthrown your own elected goverment because you do not agree with them is in todays world with almost unlimited acces to information
240 years ago they needed a militia that could fire and reload a musket in case the redcoats came back and the small standing army they had was in no way sufficient to cope with a crisis like that the war of 1812 proved that without doubt, , combine this with the continued threat of the mostly pro british native american tribes on the western border and you see why this idea of the right of bearning arms come from
ask your self is this it still needed
I do not agree with what you are saying , but i will defend to the death your right to say it...... Voltaire |
