Mine are? See commment below by you.
> We have the right to ber arms in order to over throw our government should it fail to serve the people.
What is this, some fear that your government's going to pass a law you don't like? So you pack a pistol so you can shoot your state rep?
> Britain 27 murders? Riiight. Maybe with guns but I guarantee they are higher than that.
That's right, with guns. Compare Britain's population to America's.
> And that hole civilization crap about prisoners is just that crap. Rehabilitate those you can. lock the rest up. Kill those that are a danger beyond repair.
Again, I don't expect it coming from anyone's mouth but an American's.
> #number one killer of Americans=Automobile.
You're probably right. But your murder rate would drop if you outlawed handguns. It's kinda sad that you're providing your kids with an easy method to kill other kids. Think about it, you're only killing more of your children with handguns being legal.
By handguns being legal, you're essentially fuelling your murder rate.
Thank you for calling me crazed. I carry a Glock 21 (Made in Austria)to protect myself from the crazed. I have empowered myself and I have the will to protect myself. I don't need my government to coddle me.
Another typical comment. Your gun is your empowerment, so without it you'd feel inadequate?
If guns were made illegal to all Americans, sure, there'd be a civil war, because there's a million more of you idiots out there that can't bear to drop your weapons.
