Obviously you are judging without knowing. So I ask you to refrain from commenting on MY life, since you don't know a thing about what I have been through. So keep those "sheltered" kind of comment to yourself. Thank you
I was comparing Europe to USA so quit bringing in the rest of the world. Compared to EU, the USA has fewer women in politics/power. End.

Ive never been, but isnt Europe and England alittle UPTIGHT on gun control? Like, only the military and police agencies can have them right? (Just asking..not getting into the middle of a pishing match mind you)
#68
aren't english police armed only with billy clubs? and i remember watching some movie that took place in europe where the cops yelled "armed police! stop where you are" so i guess that your average beat officer doesn't carry a gun.

It means not to think your comments are above reproach. It had noting to do with you, just your comments. I do not know you, nor do I pretend to, but I know your comments because you post them online.
Make sense?

Just spotted this news story:
HOUSTON -- A homeowner shot and killed a man who broke into his northwest Harris County home on Tuesday, officials told KPRC Local 2.
Harris County sheriff's deputies said the shooting happened at a home in the 6700 block of Dusty Dawn Drive near Coral Ridge Road at about 8:30 p.m.
Ovidio Reyes, his wife and their and two children were inside the home at the time of the home invasion, detectives said.
Reyes realized what was happening and grabbed a gun to defend his family.
"When sheriff's deputies arrived, they found that one male has been shot inside a home," Sgt. R. Nelson said. "It was later determined that the male who was shot was apparently committing a home invasion. The homeowner exchanged gunfire with him and the home invader was killed."
Neighbors called 911 when they heard gunshots.
"I think it's a tragedy that it happened," neighbor Orris Carr said. "We hate that it happened in our neighborhood."
Investigators said there may have been other people involved in the burglary who fled before deputies arrived.
Deputies have not released information as to how the burglar got into the home.
The case will be referred to the Harris County grand jury without charges.
Now where do you suppose that family would be right now if the father wouldn't have had a gun to defend his family? Even if they would have been able to dial 911, by the time the police would have arrived it could have been an ugly scene.

If there were no guns in the first place I wouldn't need a gun to defend myself from a man with a gun.
But still, the same stats we like to show about how crime goes down in relation to gun control laws, also show that there is a gianormous increase in the probability that gun owners will experience gun violoence vs non-gun owners.

the main reason that i own guns is because i just dont trust people..
but.. my guns are always kept with a trigger lock on them at all times and kept unloaded...
its the non responsible gun owners out there that ruin it for the rest of us...

Own em and carry them when I feel it is a good idea to do so (camping, long road trips with my family, etc).
We all know who gun control does and does not effect. I agree with checking people out, but that is about it. Until they can take every last one out of every last criminals (and terrorist, and foreign country who could/would decide one day to invade another country, etc) hand, I WILL own them. So that is what I have to say about gun control
And hey, what are the whining protestors going to do? They are unarmed
