Something you won't find in your mainstream media

Congrats on the thread being exactly what you claimed it wasn't, Vulc. Good job.

No it was more "our PM is being hailed for her gun laws despite what is truely going on back home".

I don't pretend to know the answer to the issues you have in the USA. It's a complex environment, and a complex problem which will require a long term solution (as in a solution that may take decades to have the desired effect).

My observation, looking from the outside - is that you have two diametrically opposed 'factions' (pro gun and anti gun) unwilling to give an inch for fear the other will take a foot. And to be honest I think both sides have valid concerns. So the question is how do you get both sides to the table to come to a realistic workable solution. If I were honest, I'd say you cannot and you guys are never ever going to resolve this problem.

Most shootings are criminals shooting each other with illegal guns. The solution is not disarming legal gun owners. Putting criminals in prison makes it better. Defunding the police makes it worse. It's not rocket science. The other issue is the 2nd amendment. It says people can be armed and congress may not interfere.

I think we sent all the "colonial rejects" back to the UK over 200 years ago. They may have even ended up in OZ, or NZ.

The comparison of National Guard to Militia as stated in the 2A is laughable.

When the Bill of Rights was written and post Revolutionary War, militias were made up of ordinary folk around the countryside, towns or cities who owned their guns and weren’t organized by the government. When they were organized by the government it certainly wasn’t the Federal government on any measurable scale. When they gathered to drill or address any issue they went back home afterwards, and largely were not compensated to any measure either.

As written by many of the founders in other documents and personal accounts citizens rights to keep arms were for their own protection against animals to the government itself and in between.

The framers of the Constitution for the most part did not even want an organized standing army…

Bangalores, Thompsons, BARs, and Flame throwers. I own a Thompson and a BAR, but they want my AR15? Pfft. Next thing you know they'll come for the M2, or the 88! Meh.

i once dated a girl with the last name of thompson and I met her at a bar, but what does that have to do with me replying to this statement.

Good luck trying to assault positions protected by automatic weapons with an AR-15.

it was done in normandy, actually throughout ww2 and after.

when I was in the marines we trained to shoot single rounds not automatic.  as it is more accurate.  and most of the time auto is overkill.

I would definately trust you with a gun. Your understanding of reality and civility is first rate.

I hope that is sarcasm.

He doesn't need a gun anyway. If his flying is any indication, had he fought in the War of Independence he'd have been so far behind the front line there'd be no point him having one.

That comment only proves he has no clue about my flying. None.

I'm actually happy that's so.

The elites and your betters have armed protection….fact

You and yours are not important enough to protect.

If I bend the knee it will be sorted.

Have you lot boarded the ships to protect the Ukraine yet?

You people

Are you lot allowed to see Russian media yet?

It's not the most demanding piece of detective work I've ever had to do. You had a YouTube channel 

I'm actually happy that's so.

Which is precisely the issue. I know in your head you think you're Tom Cruise, but that's because you're a self-deluding blowhard. Nothing personal.

If I bend the knee it will be sorted.

It seems you're right Zack. I do like soft fruit products ^ they're nice and squashy

Semp, you're fine. It's the Niki dweeb that's off his rocker. Two words. In sane.

You know, there was another Uvalde incident back in 2018? What I want to know is: why are there so many shootings just as the call for gun collections has come up?

If you're referring to me I don't fly the N1K. About as astutely-observed as your other comments. Id iot.
