another school shooting in U.S. of A. :(

Military might has zero to do with gun ownership in general population. And zero to do with this thread.

I have difficulties understanding flawed attempts at defending the undefendable. I admit this.

Seal our borders and tariff every piece of sh!t you guys are trying to get in here. Fk the Global Economy we will have our own and do just fine. As you can see this thread has just turned to insults so lets not sugar coat it. History shows you are vicious and barbaric and thank god you have been suppressed. Go through the history of the world if you are stuck understanding this. I am surprised they even let you guys buy propane!!

Do you need to be banned again? Since I'm not a Mod these days, I can't do it, but I'll be happy to report your insults if you wish.

Maybe you could explain how freedom of speech in the US differs from that of the UK?

As long as you are not publicly racist, promoting homophobic violence or using abusive language in a public arena, you can protest about pretty much anything here without intervention. Everyone has the right to protest and its rare you would visit our capital without seeing it in some form.

A visit to Speakers Corner in the West End is testament to this.

I always take my milk box when I visit London. :)

There's been a lot of claiming of freedom and rights.

Surely the basic right to go to work in the morning and come home safe in the evening overrides other rights such as the right of a state to have an armed militia and by extension the right of its citizens to possess guns?

By the way can somebody explain why states need the right to raise armed militia supplementing the federal forces and hence the need for citizens to possess arms.
