It may be ok, and I respect your opinion, but I also don't like the federal government taking my rights away. Whether that is firearms, free speech, or anything else.
Thanks for being respectful with your reply.
I guess its a cultural thing but we just don't have those worries here, maybe we're naive or maybe our own government isn't out to get us, you'd think they would have got it done by now if they were.
We do scratch our heads and wonder about it.
Are we talking UK or USA? re: speech crimes. Its not something I've heard much about though I'm sure total mind control would be welcomed by some in power but the would need help from the rest of us to achieve it.
Look I'm not going out to try and take anybody guns away on the other side of the Atlantic, I myself was brought up with guns in the house because I lived in the countryside but now I live in the city I don't know anybody with a gun or anybody that has been affected by gun crime.
Different story for my friends in the countryside, if they need a gun they can have one, they just have to apply for a licence and have a regulation cabinet which gets inspected by the police and its mostly shot guns with occasional small calibre rifles.
We just worry about you guys over there with all these shootings going on and with my 13 year old daughter travelling to America tomorrow I'd like everyone to leave their guns at home for 2 weeks if thats ok :-)
You haven't heard about the guy who made his dog into a Nazi?
Speech criminal, for a joke. There were some others arrested recently because they were going to interview a right winger. Thought Criminals. Not to mention these people
As long as she avoids a handful of neighborhoods in a handful of cities and does not join a gang or get hooked on drugs while she is here her chances of being shot are way lower than in France. I don't know if that makes you feel more or less safe. She is not a black male teenager in a gang in Baltimore is she?
You should ask all law abiding owners to carry just to be on the safe side though, that's the best way to stop an active shooter.
Aargh you said active shooter.
I think she'll be fine, we have family there, she's more debating society and swimming team than street corners luckily.
even my most heated debate competition never ended in gunplay. Most places outside of a few ghettoes are almost as safe as VT or NH, where they require no permits and have almost no state restrictions on concealed carry or gun ownership.
The fellow on the ground is Lee Rigby who was a soldier murdered in the streets 5 years ago by a mentally ill lunatic terrorist with a machete. Horrific.
The thing is we just look at the picture and think thank god the lunatic didn't have a gun or there could have been a pile of bodies on the street , its just a matter of perception and mindset I suppose.
Its still surprising to see an armed cop here though it is getting a bit more common.
Should have explained, I live in Great Britain.

People are being locked up for speech crimes and the government is not out to get you?

That fellow on the ground is just lying there so glad that he does not have a gun right?

I look at that and say, "too bad he wasn't allowed to defend himself". if you posted the cartoon I posted you could go to jail.
