Hush!

If some Americans realize that Europeans have guns too, they'll lose their sense of reality! :p

Europeans can have guns, but only if they are closely supervised by the govt.

I think the world is safer when europeans don't have guns.

I can have 1000 guns if i wanted to. I had a Glock at one point but gave it back.

You need.

1. membership in gunclub, or a hunting license.
2. a fairly clean police record and not been classified as mentaly unstable for some reason.
3. cash to buy the guns and a certified gun cabinet.

What exactly do you mean by "closely supervised by the govt". Please elaborate.

A very attractive young woman for sure.  However, lookng at the footage where she is running through the course, I see way too many rocks milling about to be shooting into the dirt.  Ive had fragments and in one case a whole bullet ricochette back by me when shooting into dirt beds filled with rocks like that.

Europeans were the first to master firearms in any organized fashion.  I think that by looking at how the euros have evolved, everyone else that has come since can learn a tremendous amount of what, and what not to do in a society.  The trick is knowing the difference.  I believe firearms ownership is an essential part of maintaining a free society, or at least a society trying to remain free.

What's funny (not really) is that the French have generally more rights than I do living in Cook County, and far more than I had when I lived in Chicago. The community is small, but they are interested in IPSC, Cowboy action and AR-15s.

IPSC looks like a lot of fun :)

Ah ... so in your opinion Americans can have cars, but only if they are "closely supervised by the govt."

Very true unless you live in the sticks or aren't an American but driving here illegally in which case the government looks the other way.

I see.

Only if you plan on driving on public roadways.  I can buy a motor vehicle and legally operate it, without emissions controls, on private roads and farms all day long if I choose.  Can you really say that your firearms laws are that lenient?

Close. It would be as if you had to own a drivers license to buy the car. Otherwise it is very similar.

well... since your-0-peeeans have all the gun rights that we do and even more in some cases....

What is all the big deal?   shouldn't you furriners be feeling sorry for us and demanding that we be treated as well as you?
