Regarding this thread: If you can stand there and shoot your Mother in the face then gun control is far from the answer. You guys sit on your butts allowing Iran to go nuclear and then you will be crying to the world when you realize you could be in the path. I know your answer is to just go Muslim which you are and then you can band together with the rest of our enemies. Well the end game is going to be a hell of a light show so for that no guns will be necessary.

Wow, what an inarticulate rant. Posts like this make you appear slightly unhinged.

I for one don't blame the US for everything wrong with the world. Enough of your national victim complex. I certainly blame your governments, of both colours, for exacerbating some of the world's problems.

No, the real point is people dying because of the action of others. You get much more (pardon the pun) bang for the buck by addressing highway fatalities.

That's one way of putting it, but he wouldn't have done such damage without a firearm.

You try and talk the talk, but you sadden rather than scare.

Goodness, if ioan's comment about paranoia counts as a personal insult, I'd suggest you're a little over-sensitive.

I agree - but the monumental task of disarming the American public may cause more trouble than it hopes to solve.

I don't profess to know the answer, but I think (and this thread is testament) there is a deep seated attitude toward firearms in the States that you'd be hard pressed to change.

And you don't think that is being addressed already?

'Every day'? Really? Honestly? From whom, or which media outlets, do these reports come?

(Sorry, in asking you to respond, to take you away from the vital job you clearly have of chronicling the lack of freedom in European nations based on detailed personal reports from reliable sources as opposed, naturally, to bits at which you've taken a vague glance on right-wing nut-job websites.)

Actually, we can blame your country for all of the death and destruction in the middle east because if not for Germany the country of Israel would not exist, nor would there ever have been a need for it. It's also true that Germany has paid the price for that and it's now done. But that's off topic for sure and I apologize to everyone for taking it there.

I'd missed that gem.

Your government could wipe you out in a heartbeat if it so wished. They're not in the slightest bit scared of you.

Ask yourself this: if you decided to stage an uprising in the vein of Tunisia or Egypt, do you honestly think you could take down the government? Seriously?
