Why? We have gun shows here (Houston) on a monthly basis it seems. Anything special going on there like topless female presenters or a free "shoot a magazine and see what ya think!" kind of thing going on?

Hey Russian - is that the kind of event at which criminals are able to stock up on guns?

No Beet, it`s more like the kind of place where enthusiasts, shooters, hunters, collectors and anyone interested in personal freedom to do so gather and have a good time.
Events such as this are enjoyed by those who haven`t willingly given up their personal freedom. You wouldn`t understand.

I haven't given up my personal freedom, willingly or unwillingly.

Just possible he meant people near Antioch CA Diablo but it is a wild guess.

you indeed have given up your freedoms willingly or unwillingly. You are not free to defend yourself with a firearm.

You simply are blind to the fact. That does not make it not a fact. If you wanted.... you couldn't.... you gave up that right if you agreed with it... if you didn't agree with it then that right was stolen from you by your government and/or a majority of your neighbors.

you had a right to keep and bear arms but it was not strong enough... it had a loophole and blind, senseless democracy screwed you.

Never had a firearm. Nor did my parents... or my grandparents... or...

No, we never had a "right". We had no constitution to amend for a second time. It's true that there was once no law against guns - at a time before guns had been invented and therefore no legislation was necessary. The law was changed (in 1920) by a democratically elected government - a coalition government, part of which was reelected two years later. In 1997, Tony Blair's govt. imposed a "ban" on handguns - a nonissue which received little attention from the public at large. So irrelevant was it that TB has been reelected not once, but twice in the time since - in 2001 and 2005.

^ Leading example of a nebbish from the land of many nebbish. Fortunately they are not all like beetle, some have capacities beyond the common nebbish. Unfortunately I fear they are in the minority and dwindling.

Mav - the more I read your posts in which you pontificate about my country, the more I am led to believe that you have never been here. So answer me - have you ever been to the UK? A simple YES/NO answer is all that is required. One or the other. Don't try to be clever - it doesn't suit you.

Why are both parties so threatened by other’s way of life?

And can someone answer original question? Depending on that answer, I may go to that gunshow.
