Gun control laws do they work ?

So the US has a Naval base in Cuba?

And it has a trade embargo with Cuba?

And Castro is still in charge?

So Castro has let the US into Cuba?

Can someone please verify the above, because its a bit confusing.

We have been there, with a naval base, since 1903.

Yes there is a trade embargo.

A Castro is still in charge (for now)

Castro has not let the US into Cuba (see above).  In fact, they like our money but you can't fly from the US to Cuba, you must fly to Canada or somewhere else, first.

Duly verified.  Still confused?

I thought the cold war had finished.

Are Cuba going to invade America?

What did Castro actually do to the US?

Is this the reason for Guns in a America, if so its a bit far fetch that anyone would want to invade the US.

If they did they would buy a 4x4 and open a business.

I bought some Lambretta wheels from Vietnam, they were very good

Are you allowed to buy anything from Vietnam in the US?

It has.

If the embargo is ever lifted, I believe that Cuba will certainly feel like they are being invaded by America. (please refer back to the tasty cigar comment)

He spearheaded a violent overthrow of the existing government, kicked out most US businesses (read: mostly casinos staffed and ran by various organized crime families from the US) and allowed the USSR to park nuclear warheads only a few hundred miles from the US mainland.

They removed the missiles  off Cuba and then US missiles were took off the Soviet border in Turkey?
And the Mafia were thrown out off Cuba?
And all Americans have to be armed to protect then from these people?

I count the days until the embargo is lifted.

Then I can purchase some nice cuban cigars much more easily.

Yes.  The Operation Emily missiles were removed, also  

Yes.

Not all, just the ones who choose to be to protect themselves from those kinds of people.

Nope we olny arm ourselves against old world tea totaling types.

[Shuffler]

All the Cubans are not happy?

Are you basing your view on Cuba because people want to leave?

Lots of people leave the UK to goto New zealand.

I know nothng about Cuba except the Bay of pigs and there links to the Soviets.

The Cuban missile crisis was a direct link beween Jupiter missiles being held in Turkey aimed at the Soviet Union.

After the crisis the Turkish missiles supplied by the US were removed.

Spouting you seem angry.

What has a poster of loonies to do with Americans having guns in thier houses?

You answered my question. You know nothing about cuba.

[Nathan60]

That or hes trolling for a political theamed response.

[katanaso]

The Cuban policy is 'different', to say the least.

If you flee from Cuba and make it "feet dry" on the U.S., you're here to stay and start being processed towards citizenship.

If you flee from Haiti, for instance, you're sent back.

Not the best link, but it gives a simple overview:  http://immigration.about.com/od/immigrationlawandpolicy/a/U-S-Allows-Cuban-Migrants-Different-Treatment.htm

All i know about Cuba is basic history taught in schools in the UK. (Basic History)

Its is not a Troll.

You are still angry at Cuba and you have a base there its very confusing.(I did not know you do not still trade with it)

And you need personal arms to protect yourselves from said people, this link between defending you rights and owning a gun is silly.

I understand you have the right to defend yourself from criminals, but linking it to defending yourself from the government is ridiculous and childish.

Says the Sheeple of  the UK that are used to being lead around by the nose by the monarchy?

[guncrasher]

Us having a base there is not really because we like them or they like us. They don't want it there but we have a lease so we keep it. It is the international equivalent of "come at me bro."

The embargo is still active and I seriously doubt it will go away until there is no Castro in power.
