Those of you who want to live in places like Australia, Ireland, etc where guns are completely outlawed - Be my guest!!!! I enjoy shooting (don't even have a "machine gun"!!!!!) and I'll be d*mned if I live in such a pussified country as the ones you describe. I was just on vacation in Peru with a family from Australia. Mother was an armorer in their Air Force. She hates that Australia has outlawed firearms. She was telling us how the gangs in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne operate with no fear now, since they are armed and citizens are not! You can own a .22 pistol or rifle, only if you belong to a sporting club, and it takes forever to get one. Can't own knives that aren't tiny. F*ck that shit! She was oooooing and ahhhing out over my Spyderco Military folder I had on me, like she had seen a Unicorn in the flesh! You are nothing more than an unarmed helpless victim if something goes down. I laugh at the "Bobbies" in London, coming after crooks with those funny hats and little batons. Hahahaha! USELESS. The Islamic Jihadists that are currently INFESTING parts of the UK and France? They don't give a flying f*ck about the pacifist anti-gun laws, as they are sporting full-auto AK-47's!!!!!! Good luck with the batons, you freakin' Sheeple! When those Jihadists activate their cells and start Holy Wars against you, what are you going to do? Who are you going to call? Ask Israeli citizens if they think giving up their weapons is going to keep the peace. We in America don't have the right to posses firearms to kill each other, we have the right to own them to keep armed terrorists and other conquerors from taking over. WE THE PEOPLE, comprise what is written into our Constitution as "a well-armed Militia." Don't like how we operate? Don't like our laws? Then don't come crying to us every time you have problems, begging for military support and financial aide. I gotta love how much money flows out of our country, and yet none of the moocher counties seem to give a dime back? Any time there's a natural disaster in the world, US funds and aide and aircraft carriers are there. When we have natural disasters and such, where is your countries Red Cross, etc? The West Coast of USA is burning, where are YOUR firefighters?
