Originally posted by lazs2 fair enough mechanic.. if you feel that having your firearms rights taken away has given you so much better life and less fear of bgeing killed in england that is up to you. Not sure exacly what gun laws you guys passed tho that dropped your homicide rate so dramaticaly.... My guess is that you just aren't the types of people that murder each other.I got no problem with you guys limiting yourselves and if you believe that looking at a few handguns makes you proficient with em.... who am I to say? Doesn't seem to work that way here but... maybe people are different there.But... When we are looking at englands gun control it is not because we want you to have your rights back (we would be happy to help if we could tho).... no... it is because the methods used by your government to disarm you are the same lieing incramentalism that they are trying to jam down our throats..."What would be wrong with a national gun regestration, we will never use it to confiscate law abiding gun opwners firearms" they say... yet we look at you and see that they are indeed never happy until they have confiscated every gun in the country.That is the reason we use your country as an example. You may be happy with it but we have a lot more gun owners than you ever had,,, 70-80 million of em. they are nervous and don't want to have their rights removed.... many who don't own guns now would rush out to buy em any way they could if they thought a ban was imminent.We are just completely different people than you are. We don't have much in common at all except that you speak a very accented version of Californian (except when you sing) Even our countries are very different... we have wide open spaces and differnt state... even wyoming is allmost twice as big as your whole country.We are simply fighting to preserve our rights as long as we can.... the example of your country and worse... Australlia (which I allways looked at as rugged individuals) your examples show us what will happen to us if we don't fight.lazs
