.............>>>>>>>>>>> Surprise surprise!!! Dunblane finally killed what small gun owner demographic there was in England. But that beggs an easily answered question: Are there more or less gun crimes now than in 1997? Has the ban been a success? WHOOPS WHOOPS II
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
How many more gun crimes would there have been WITHOUT the ban on handguns?
That's how success should be measured. Just as seat belts and drink-driving laws will never eliminate road deaths, but there's no question they greatly reduce them.
I doubt whether your NRA site has the answer to that.
Thankfully there's another thing that separates us; my rights are not subject to either the momentary desires of a selfish politician or the ignorant whims of public opinion.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> So you believe the will of We The People is nothing more than 'IGNORANT WHIMS"??????
I doubt whether many black Americans would agree with that.
Well, at least our old dead guys shook off your disgusting political model and instituted one based in individual liberty;
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sadly that liberty didn't extend to their slaves or their wives. Infact only white male landowners were allowed to vote. Something else that the "ignorant whims of public opinion" was able to change eventually.
And your disgusting racial inequality model existed until the 1960's. fact is, your pitiful subjected condition that you presently wallow in and celebrate goes much further back then the 18th century. . .
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> You mean the "pitiful subjected condition" that allows the people to get their govt to ban handguns? Something you have no hope of achieving?
Is there a camera in your bedroom yet? | Nope. But all those cameras in the UK have helped to reduce crime, including terrorist activity. Something which is still at the novelty stage in the US thank God.
BTW you are on filmed several times each day in the US - every time you use an ATM, enter a bank, a store, a gas station, most car parks, an airport, a govt building and thousands of other places.
Many states also use them for traffic control..
And if you have a cell phone the govt knows where you are to within 6 feet!.
Stick that on your NRA site! |
