I know. I posted it to illustrate one more time that guns are a deterrent to crime - regardless of "where". Imagine this: A stranger with unknown intentions and nasty vibes enters your bedroom at night, wielding a butcher knife. How likely is it that he'll commit mayhem on you if you have a gun under your pillow? Or would you rather dial 911? Okay, I just re-read my post. I think you misunderstand what my point was. My point was, I don't believe that England is "more crime-ridden than the United States." That's exactly what the story from your link said. Sherry |

Dear Pat,
This web page appears to be totally contrary to the others. This is the most striking error on the (below) web page: "MYTH:Gun ownership is a protection against political tyranny. TRUTH: Private ownership of guns was very common under Saddam Hussein's regime (source).It certainly didn't protect the Iraqi people against political tyranny. Gun control laws were enacted in Germany to disarm Hitler and those in the Nazi militia. In that case, gun control was a protection against political tyranny" Gun control protection against tyranny? Tell that to the unarmed Jews who handed in their guns cause Hitler and his evil instituted gun control. -- Christopher A. Young You can't shout down a troll. You have to starve them. ..

Hmm. Do you think, perhaps, by a person who doesn't obey the
OTHER laws like burglary and trespassing? -- Christopher A. Young You can't shout down a troll. You have to starve them. .. : They would have to strangle each other here - there is no way a normal law : abiding citizen can carry a hand gun. Actually, it's not necessary but as : it's also totally illegal so I have no worry that I am in any danger to walk : around anytime night or day to be shot. : Neither if - G*d forbid, I disturbed a burglar I would have no worries that : he would be armed. If I woke up I would hit him with my rat thwacker (heavy : type of walking stick) : This might be sort of naive, but if no-one is allowed a hand gun, how can : people get shot? : : Tweed : : : By those who dont care about your laws! : And in Europe we have lots of Former east block : guys to supply and wierdo........ : : |
