Well the best one was after the Cinema shooting in Colorado - the argument is that because there people aren't allowed to carry guns in public, so you have sitting targets as most people aren't carrying a gun, "criminals don't obey laws", and if only people in the cinema had guns then the shooter would have been killed straight away....you know, in a dark cinema, lots more people just firing guns.....I mean what could go wrong with that?
Doesn't all this for back to to the war of independence? Gave them the right to carry arms to protect themselves from the British - if it helps to change things it might help to know that we don't want to run their country anymore - or the native American's land for that matter
Spot on, the gun lobby over there have a very loud voice and influence in the right places. Nothing will ever change.
Do you really believe that? I take it you therefore have a gun so you aren't attached by someone with a knife? Bizarre
The pro gun lobbyists in America are so powerful due to the amount of money they invest in politics, it is very doubtful anything will be done in the near future, the slaughter in the schools show that
doubt owt will be done anytime soon. the reaction by that lot to every gun spree is 'we need to arm ourselves up even more'. this is america we're talking about. they specialise in arming up nations, to go to war.
I particularly like the fact it's only illegal to carry a concealed weapon when drunk or high. Having one in your hand or on a belt is just fine
Also, there is no limit to how young a child can be and still have a gun so long as the parents have given written permission. I also enjoy the fact that you're not considered responible enough to drink alcohol until you're 21 but you're allowed to buy and possess a gun at 18.
and you're not allowed a gun under the age of 18...unless you have a written letter from your parents!
Federal law(ie national law): Unlicensed persons may sell, deliver, or otherwise transfer a long gun or long gun ammunition to a person of any age. Bonkers
Federal law also says under 18s shouldnt have handguns unless theyre using themfor loody target practice or hunting
