Can you kill?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppino Impastato Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 4 hours ago, Fullerene said: No. The second amendment was to do with the fact that the USA started off with no army or navy (or air force) and had to do something to protect itself. Asking every man to help out seemed the logical answer at the time. Somebody told me they now have a navy and army and air force so maybe it is time to review the situation. Yes, that's why it says well regulated militia or whatever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Venom Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Why would you get burgled if there was no gun in the house to nick? Because burglars need tellies and so it's only fair that the residents can kill the person stealing the telly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you move house then your guns get delivered to your new local club. If you're found guilty of a crime which makes you a danger, your guns are destroyed and applying for another one should become very difficult. The gun nuts can still own a gun, just not at home. Probably never work. Way too rational for America. And you have hunters to think about, although they could probably manage without assault rifles with massive bullet containers so you don't need to reload until you've killed a whole herd of gnu. The rules used to be stricter though.

Thinking about some of the headcases that taught me at secondary school, the idea of giving them guns is f*cking terrifying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps or perhaps not. Calls for the head of the FBI to resign over it are entirely careerist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I was in the US this week, so for the first time was able to watch the US news properly in the aftermath. I was treated to Fox, where they had an "expert" suggest that the only way to protect schools was to follow the ultra-successful Israeli model, where the school is on total lockdown, and several of the teachers are carrying hidden weapons. I also saw the NBC coverage of Trump's speech, where the first thing they did was point out and criticise the fact he never once used the word "gun". They also were quick to establish that the Florida Governor's press conference immediately beforehand seemed to show he was at odds with Trump, when they had previously been close political allies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they want to follow Israel? It’s a repressive society full of religious nutters and the head of government is corrupt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
