Sensitive much?
Columbine - Hey guess what we're allowed guns, and you're not. Dunblaine - Hey guess what we're allowed guns, and you're not. Oslo - Hey guess what we're allowed guns and you're not. Ok, ok.... Good for you....

Just askin because every day on this forum I hear Americans huff puff hot air and smoke blowing declaring their rights, but I have yet to see them exercised.

Because people tend to tolerate abuse as long as it is tolerable for a civil war with its breakdown in society is no guarantee of fixing the problem and will make life much worse in the while it is going on. Americans are also divided soi it makes no sense to be the lone nut on the ten o;clock news either. However prudent Americans retain thier right to keep and bear arms for that last resort and will take them up if forced to.
I read post like yours all the time huffing and puffing about why don't you do something about it t etc. trying to denigrate those who fiercely defend thier gun rights. So what is your point? What would you have the gentleman do? Go off half cocked with little or no support and end up as a nut in the nightly news? The battle is for the hearts and minds of Americans right now. A prudent patriot does not take up arms unless he knows he has majority sentiment on his side or is willing to die a martyr. Neither is the case at the moment.

Also - doesn't the 2nd ammendment say something about protecting yourself against tyranny / dictatorship?
Why haven't you guys actually done anything about the HUGE corporations who are raping yours and everyone elses countries?
If you did that, you'd have my backing, but to me.... It seems that you're all prepared to brag about hoarding guns and boasting about that right, but doing very little about anything.

And? What does this prove?
First of all, the British CANT own guns. Second, being proud of ones freedom and ability to live free is not a bad thing. At all.

I'm not ignorant. Many of these corporations were founded in the US.
Okay, what about your feds, the government trampling your rights etc....
I could go on....
WE GET IT - you have guns..... Okay great.... Those guns have also contributed to hundreds of thousands of deaths.... Innocent or not.

Ignorant much?
YES we can own guns. We just don't make threads about it.
Do some research.

Hilarity?
Ghandi didn't use a weapon.
Where am I infriging your rights? Did I mention you CANNOT use guns?
My point is an issue on sensitivity. There are Norwegians on this forum (who you probably don't care less about) but do they have to be reminded that you need to have guns??edit on 23-7-2011 by mr-lizard because: (no reason given)
