nelson.. I would say that the ability to defend yourself against tyranny (of any kind) is the absolute minimum thing needed by a free people.

If you are mugged or raped or beaten to death by thugs and you are not able to defend yourself because your government said you aren't allowed the tools...

then free speech and the ability to move about freely and all the other freedoms are pretty darn worthless.

It is good that you live in a place that people who don't look exactly like you and think exactly like you find unpleasant to live in or, are kept out.   that is a pretty feeble thing to bet on tho.   I would rather take care of myself or.. at least have the ability.  

If someone stronger than you has the ability to mug you and you have been disarmed... how is that freedom?

Whatever.. its a discussion years and years of experience on this bbs has shown that none of us can win. Its a weekly event and you have never won it and neither have I.

American and Norwegian society is far to different when it comes to safety.

are we talking about safety or freedom, a bird in a cage is safer than a bird in the wild, but which one is free.

ok..  I want to be able to carry a handgun concealed in case I am ever attacked or I can help someone else who is.

your idea of free right?  Do what I want.. and.. it isn't even hurting anyone.   Sorta like smoking pot but with a purpose.

If someone breaks into your house and you don't have a gun, how are you going to shoot him?

Thats a Cool rubber band gun .

Now I live in england I'd like to point once and for all that we have 'no hand guns', NOT no guns at all.

we have 2 gun cabinets in my parents home with shotguns and hunting rifles, we have bows and arrows, knives, we have plenty of things to kill stuff with thankyou

we eat deer, goose, ducks, pheasant, pidgeon.  fish for Salmon and sea trout from the river

 AND when I go surfing I'll see natural girls sunbathing topless down on the beach !!!  

england aint so bad

But if you talking about the seperate kingdom of 'London' thats a different matter ;)
