The difference is only of scale. The principles which drive your reason for wanting "Second Amendment rights" are identical to North Korea and Iran wanting to have nuclear weapons.Quote:

In the one I graduated from, it would get you expelled and sadly nowadays arrested. No firearm necessary.Quote:

Actually you do since most Texans (for the moment) are of European descent, so they have the genes for violence so be careful with the guns. :rolleyes:Quote:

Personally, I disagree with what the people of Texas have chosen but that is merely an opinion. I have no more right to dictate Texan policy than you have of forcing other Countries to choose their political path.
This is just bollox. You make a good point to start with and then some meaningless rhetoric based on irrelevant statistics. If you want to retract it then fine otherwise we can discuss the naiveity of the rest of the post.Quote:
Funny, I just read somewhere that Texas is twice the size of Germany.
Let us see, Texas has had no wars in the last 100 hundred years fought inside the state. Meanwhile mostly in france, germany, poland, the eastern part of europe, an area about four or five times larger than texas, in the last hundred years has seen 50 to 60 or more million dead as a result of all types of inhumanity.
Yes we sure need you guys to be telling us what to do with guns and drunk punk-ass 22 year olds.
Not a thousnad, not ten thousand, not a hundre thousand, but
MILLIONS, as in 50,000,000 people, men, women and children.
Let's open this up to actual real-world experience:Quote:

All I know is this. This paranoia about armed Americans does also fly in the face of reality. I have been to more US States than just about anyone on this forum (46 of the 50) and never ONCE have I felt unsafe knowing that Americans are armed. The only places that looked dodgy are ironically the states and US Cities that have the most restrictions on gun ownership (Newark, Detroit, Chicago, Washington DC, New York). So figure that one out......
