Auckland #3, Wellington #13...first US city...#29....yep, I think i'd rather live here

oh and posting stuff from the Daily Mail doesn't prove much to most intelligent people, it's like the UK's Fox News

CNN and Fox are pretty much useless except for entertainment.

So Nathan, you believe the English are ruled by a tyrannical monarchy? Either you're a few centuries late to the party or you are the most paranoid person I've ever had the misfortune of coming across. Then again, you also think the world is hollow and the CIA is fighting the Air Force in tunnels in California.

So youre saying this has been going on for  hundreds of years?

having guns widely available makes everybody safer

just look at America

To be fair cities in the US with the most stringent gun laws have the highest rate of gun violence. It's almost impossible to buy a gun in Chicago, D.C., and N.Y.

I'm saying that the English Revolution happened a few centuries ago, in the mid 1600's IIRC. Although the people eventually returned to a monarchy, the monarch currently has very little power.

to be fair they enacted the laws after the cities already had the highest rate of gun violence.

& that fixed the problem, because all the criminals went, "Oh my they outlawed my gun? I'll have to report & surrender it at the police station immediately or I could get in trouble...oh me Oh My!! what will I do?"

I am senile

Anyone fired a M16?

Many thousands of rounds...... Shot out two barrels in testing.

I grew up with guns like a lot of country folks...been shooting squirrels & rabbits since I was 8-9 years old. My dad's Rem 100 12 Ga. was bigger than me, but I shot birds & rabbits with it until he bought me my 870 pump still in the safe. Got to basic training & some kid was crying because the M-16 "Kicked too hard & scared him"... I'm glad we weren't shooting M1 Garands or M14's or even M2's he would have wet himself.

Shooting rabbits with a 12GA..  Guess you didn't eat rabbit stew very often.

I would like to think most of the people who play AH enjoy history. Well, let's visit a piece of history. (BTW: I'm posting because seeing mindless people squabble has lost it's ability to create amusement)

 "Japan would never invade the United States. We would find a rifle behind every blade of grass." Isoroku Yamamoto

NOW - before everyone goes batchit, there is no evidence he truly said the aforementioned quote however; the idea is still the same. Does this have anything to do against defending ourselves from our own government? No, but people are ignoring the fact that people owning guns does make it harder for someone to plan out a solid invasion of the U.S. ....well, if you forget California (excluding the USMC base there ).

I don't have to worry about my first amendment as long as I have my second amendment.

That's why we have the most powerful military in the world, is it not?
