Other countries take on US gun laws

No. They don't get it.  Their ancestors that had issues with authority left...and came to the United States of America.

 

So they could own firearms and have a say in their own destiny.

 

On one of these group international rants one time, everyone of these foreigners was saying how they needed to send in troops and TAKE our guns.

 

I queried "Who's going to take them? German troops? French troops?  The whole damn United Nations?  Pool together your army of 10 million confiscators and see how long they last against 1% of our armed population."

They really don't get it....and this is from me, a "f*ing foreigner" who now owns guns. :D

 

It's really strange that nobody mentions countries like Rawanda, Somalia, Burundi, Croatia, etc. They all have restrictive gun laws but does that work? No, because of the amount of illegal firearms that are available and flowing into the various regions. All that "power" becomes focused within small groups run by warlords.

 

If gun control legislation becomes an overnight success here, I believe we'll end up like parts of Mexico where the drug lords run the show.

 

TL:DR - without controlling the influx of illegal firearms (i.e. proper border security), it'll be impossible to impose any realistic gun control. I guess we have to thank the likes of Leland Yee for supporting the illegal gun trade.  <lmao>

In Europe, the "Left" is communism, and the "Right" is national socialism (neo-Nazi). Both are types of totalitarianism. Individual freedom is not really part of their politics, and that is part of why we fascinate them so much.

my partner at work here is European...and might disagree with your blanket statement. one could make the same assumption about the US depending on which non representational "news" source you choose to believe.

Being from a nation of people who were subdued by guns I think or at least I would like to think I have a pretty good idea of what that means.... yet I have always been a supporter of the constitution because this country where my ancestors fought and died is still my country the difference is I now have a way to defend it and my family under what I think is a brilliant system is it perfect no, but is there a better place to live on the planet? I do not think so , and so now my relatives and your all strive for the same thinmg to live in peace and to persue our dreams for our children.

 

   Criminals are those that have chosen to take instead of work for what they want and we have the right under the constitution to protect ourselves from people like that... I get it.... and I think we need to strive to make the system work, the problem as I see it today is everyone in the newer generations just seems complacent, they want someone to take care of them well sorry it does not work that way.....

 

There is a price to pay for freedom as we know it we have drug addicts , alcoholics, and obesity issues all because of free choice yet all we here about is guns dead is dead no matter what the cause..... the chance of being killed by a mass murderer is equal to being hit by lightning  so I am not going to get to excited yet..... I grew up in the gun culture have owned them all my life and i have been responsible with them all my life like most gun owners in this country are .. it only takes a few loons to bring the wrath of the unknowing down upon you...

I don't lose sleep at night wondering what the rest of the world thinks of anything in this country.  As Micro reminded us of the old 308ar proverb...."in the neck"  with all of them.  Save for Russia, China, and the United States, the rest of the world couldn't build a worthy of enough army to fight off a good cold, let alone impose their will on another continent.  Yes, I believe the United States is superior to the rest of the countries on earth.

Magwa, I am guessing you're Native American?

 

 I don't think any subculture in America understands and appreciates the importance of gun rights and ownership like our Native Americans. There's a reason why we think of cowboys with guns and natives with bows and arrows.

 

 Anyway, not everyone in that discussion is an idiot. In any case, I stated my case in that discussion.
