    You don't have to get snarky. How am I supposed to know what that blue flag means in relation to the one left of it?

    I guess I will have to become the flag gestapo now.

    No it's just good observation.
    You can always hover it if you're unsure.

    I asked what your 500 deaths a year have to do with us.

    I gave an opinion.
    It doesn't matter if it directly relates to the US or not.

    By replacing the plastic firing pin and barrel with metallic components. Some other modifications are required, but that is the basic gist of it.

    That's a poor correlation. By your logic, nobody in the UK should be carrying any type of knife, edged weapon, or pointed weapon - those weapons accounted for 199 of the 540 homicides in 2012. Continuing your logic, you are much safer owning a firearm than a knife.

    But of course that's a ridiculous claim without knowing how many people own firearms, carry knives, or looking at the real metrics of crime - population density and poverty. In the US, population density is highly correlated to homicide and crime in general. I'm going to guess its the same in the UK.

    Simply means in good working order. Has nothing to do with government regulatory powers or responsibilities.

    I voted for option 1

    I don't give a damn about the second amendment. Guns are so widespread that we aren't going to be rid of them for the foreseeable future, even if we stop production somehow. Also, I wouldn't feel safe in a society where guns are only owned by police and soldiers.

    In the sense of the military, according to US Code 10, Sub A, Part I, Chap 13, Section 113, the militia consists of all able bodied men age 17 to 45 who are Citizens of the US or who have made a declaration to become Citizens. The organized militia consists of the National Guard and similar organizations, the unorganized militia consists of all other people who met the age and citizenship criteria. That's the US law.

    In the opinion of the Founders of the nation, the militia is all men capable of bearing arms. Not the army, National Guard, etc., but every living person.

    No it's not.
    And knives aren't banned either.

    And it's not a ridiculous claim gun ownership has not increased while the murder rate has decreased.

    At the end of the day for any foreigner it is none of your damn business, no apology, no comparing stats or data, do not care to justify or prove to be worthy. Suck it up, quit the crying. Do not come here, do not spend your money here. We do not need you.

    2A is exclusively American. Nothing you can do.

    All right then.
    Don't comment on stories involving foreigners because it's none of your damn business.

    So I shouldn't spend my money in the US. Ok your loss.

    sounds like you are proposing a List of Privileges as opposed to maintaining the Bill of Rights

    - - - Updated - - -

    you couldn't spend enough here to sway any opinion. Keep your money. After the Muslims come for it you can use the same sorry-assed excuse

    - - - Updated - - -

    so, if it was useless and senseless, why put it out there?

    Its the American public that may need to be called up in time of need. Or in daily terms, our military.

    Yes I could. And considering my money is worth more than yours I wouldn't have to spend that much.
    And it's arse not ass. You do know the difference between someone's posterior and a donkey don't you?

    I never said that. Why do you consistently fail to read?

    No loss Consul, Your wealth will not effect a Nation. I do not go into foreign forums and (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) about domestic policy or how that government runs the nation outside the US. I will challenge people outside this Nation wanting to set policy that they themselves do not live in. Your lack of respect for our Constitution and BOR is arrogant and ignores the fact that we are sovereign state.

    In a nutshell, you do not like our 2A, so what?

    You're not making any sense.

    And if you take such umbrage at just a minor comment then why are you here?

    - - - Updated - - -

    No. 1783 which is when the peace of Paris was signed.
    And judging from the things you often say, I'd say that you need an education.
    Also it's not the Kings English.
