I never understand people who really believe that taking guns from law abiding people would make a safer place where no one will be hurt by crime. They have way too much dependency on institutions to live and eat.

Muggings without guns mean less lethal? That's hilarious. The point is less muggings not less chance of losing life due to lead poisoning.

Just ask yourself if you were very very hungry and just had to eat and you have two people and you had to roll one of the for cash to afford to eat.

One holding a gun in his right hand and foaming at the mouth, smiling, laughing in such a such a way his belly fat jiggles and he is winking at you, licking his lips, blows a kiss your way and he's holding one hundred dollars cash in his left hand and the other subject is just holding the cash, which would you choose?

Just answer that to yourself because anyone with common sense knows that answer.

If people want to own guns, that's their business. Personally, I don't want the responsibility of owning a firearm.
Touch wood, so far I have never been in a bad situation where having one would have been convenient.

Checking the stats I must admit there are other countries who have higher killrates by firearms than the US...like Colombia, Albania and the Phillipines.
By the way, what's the requirements to legally buy a gun in the US? Clean record or? And can I take my gun with me to the pub for a pint with friends?

I purchase from gun shows locally here in Texas now and then. They have them every month. When I have done so you just decide what you want and they make you fill out this paperwork and you have to have proper ID of course. Wait for about 15 minutes while you're background is being checked - usually buying ammo or reloading supplies during this wait. Then they'll call your cell phone to tell you that you're approved and give you receipt and your gun and that's it. You have to 18 or over and a clean criminal background.

Taking it into bar is not allowed. State law provides that any business can forbid carrying of a firearm on their property. They display this sign iat the entrance of the establishment.


However a business owner can pack heat all he wants to in his own business and even wear it visible. Many pawn shops have all their people working there packing heat. They never have anything happen in them bad.

I feel safest in these places.

Trust me when I tell you this because I've lived here my entire life. Everyone I know and I mean EVERYONE I know owns and or carries a gun on them all the time. Guns are not rare they're every where.

Like buying a cell phone over here. Horrible but guess it's about culture. I'm not judging anyone but hope we'll never go that route over here.

Honestly I like it this way. I mean were we can and you can't. I will defend your right to keep them out of the hands of all your citizens.
