    We kicked the English law out of our country over 200 years ago.

    If you hop my fence, trip the alarm, set off the dogs & break down my deadbolted door or shatter a window to get in, you're not there to help me polish your halo. You'll be getting a face full of birdshot from the 12 gauge. If you're a kid, it'll f*ck me up for a while. But only for a while.

    I can almost guarantee you have NEVER seen a gunshot wound to the face. I have seen several and they still haunt my nightmares

    So the life of a ten year old is worth less than your TV? If you have that much security it suggests that crime is still an issue in the states - which means gun ownership has NOT been a deterrent. Now unless you intend to have your gun in your hand 24/7 you have the possibility of facing an intruder. Without your gun

    Then what?

    Not all kids are that big and yes I KNOW this has happened more than once that a kid has been caught and given a good thumping - no cops called.

    lol. You people do not have anything remotely close to the American Bill of Rights.

    Who disseminates the "freedom index" you refer to? Provide a reference for your claim.

    the assclowns who charged him should never ever be allowed to hold public office again. and the scum like Trudeau should be stripped of any armed protection

    Again, another example of you rewording someone's statement as a strawman fallacy. So a Texan states: "If someone (even a 10 year old) breaks into my occupied house, they threaten more than stealing a TV";

    Which you then reword as "So the life of a ten year old is worth less than your TV."

    No, that was not what Texan said. Like I said, you would have made a great shyster if you are not one already.

    Trudeau will have armed security for life as will Mike Bloomberg. The liberal argument seems to be that all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. We saw this in the US after Katrina, when police went door to door confiscating legally owned firearms and the homes of the rich were protected by a Private Military Company armed with AR-15s.

    This is how liberals roll.

    If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, has webbed feet, and quacks, it's a duck.

    That is what our laws are. Be warned

    If you travel outside of America this is a common law in multiple countries

    A “Liberal” here is a right wing conservative - Labor is our “leftist” political party, though considering we still have an official Socialist party………. :p

    Awwww! NRA hype!
    The NRA are the unofficial advertising agency for the armaments industry

    Conflict of interest much?
    The NRA also manipulates opinions through ghost written pieces planted in newsfeed

    There is no guarantee the ten year old is even there for the TV - they might be there on a dare. More than one “boyfriend” has been shot sneaking in or out of a house, as has the occupants

    Are you aware that a gun in the house makes the residents MORE at risk?

    I think that gun lovers think that their government will use muskets to Tyrannically rule over them
