If it ever gets to a stage in the UK where you need to defend your house from evil do-er's like is suggested it is in the US, then I'd happily pay higher taxes so law enforcement can protect me if needed. If you've got children and your guns are legally required to be locked away, then the chances are they won't be to hand should a gang of 'taffy rapists' break into my house during the night anyway. Safe as. :s mokin:

I do not need nor keep a loaded firearm to protect myself and family. That is what all those carefully placed claymores take care of. And if those fail, I have a small thermonuke device in the attic wired up to a mobile phone, and all i need to do, is push one speed dial button and pow. Nobody gets away with nothing. Just got to be careful and not accidentally dial it by mistake

It certainly isn't free of crime, but in no way do I feel so threatened as to think that being armed would be of benefit.

That is you.....But then again Europe has a history of accepting surrender, capitulation and collaboration. In the USA the only people who accept it are Liberals.

No...It is an inalienable right. Your country violates it and you willingly accept it.

The prisoners in Guantanamo Bay are not free, would you like them to be liberated?

Eki.....You continue to fail to grasp basic logic.

If you actually believe that driving a car on a Publicly funded road or flying a plane over other people's property is the same as possessing a firearm on one's person or in their home then the Finnish Education system is a complete failure.

The truth does seem to bother you.

Wrong.

The right to bear arms exists in the United States because of the operation of the Second Amendment to the US Constitution. Amendments can be repealed.
