I don't have to defend my nation as my government does that on my behalf, and I trust them to do so. Owning a gun wouldn't help me defuse an IED in Afghanistan, or stop a terrorist attack. How do you defend your nation by owning a gun? Owning a gun doesn't empower you to do anything at all; that's what the rule of law does.

It really doesn't bother me that the USA allows the right to bear arms. It's your country and your politicians and if you vote for them and they let you have what you want then that's fine. If you disagree with your government by all means form a militia and march on Washington. It'll make great TV whilst it lasts.

However, don't criticise another country's peoples and laws just because you do not agree with them. If you're not a citizen then it's really none of your business. That goes for the whole guns are great/bad argument.

Giggle away.

Ok, two men with guns. One who cares for his community, having a good time with friends and family without violence, the other who doesn't give a toss about anyone but himself and doesn't give a dam who has to suffer for his actions.
Who is going to pull the trigger first?

History indicates?
The one who cares...
Why?
Caring people are more intolerant of the reckless...
Than the reckless are intolerant of the caring...
