If the shoe fits-and I'll happily do so to my own; I don't have this absurd flag-waving notion of fealty to a country, just because I happened to be born here.
There is that typical British sense of superiority and racism showing through again.Oh, better than El Salvador or some other Latin American third world toilet? Impressive
I do and I have been one my entire life. I also realize that those who try to carry on to an aircraft are probably the far end of the stupid spectrum, leaving lots of room for a few million more to fit in between them and responsible owners.
Because we are superior, in every way you can imagine. Without Britain there would be no United States. Ponder on that for a moment. Oh, and when did Americans become a race?
No you are allowed a few very limited guns as long as you jump through enough hoops to make you lords happy. Why pretend you have any say in it. You don’t.We are allowed to own guns in Britain; we simply choose not to because we don't have an obsession with the things. Learn something. Gun crime in your country is increasing. See the graph in my link:
What the data says about gun deaths in the U.S.
While the number of gun deaths in the U.S. fell for the second consecutive year in 2023, it remained among the highest annual totals on record.www.pewresearch.org
Yes, jumping through those hoops ensured that we had a mere 29 gunshot fatalities in 2023. I call that a win. What would you call your 48,000 that same year? Shocking? Embarrassing?
Clearly they are.
lol. Keep telling yourself.
Cars are only required to be registered if driven on public roads. Not for mere ownership.
Funny seeing you say that right after boasting about your countries superiority.
What it ensures is that you do as your lords allow and you keep your ass in line.
I love the smell of defensiveness! So your lords don't impose laws on America? America is the most legislated nation on the planet-so don't give us that 'freedom' crap!
That you think me being disgusted at your racism and laughing at you acting like you have any say in if you can own guns is defensiveness is pretty hilarious. You should probably get your sense of smell checked. Something going on there.I love the smell of defensiveness! So your lords don't impose laws on America? America is the most legislated nation on the planet-so don't give us that 'freedom' crap!
Does the United States have more rules and laws than other countries?
Answer (1 of 3): There are federal laws and there are state laws. All 50 states have their own laws. States’ laws may vary in regard to business contracts, real estate, wills and inheritance and divorce and family matters to name a few. When you take into account all the different states’ laws, y...www.quora.com
Over half of those gun fatalities were suicides. Some were justifiable homicides, by both civilians and by law enforcement. So no, it’s not a lot of irresponsible gun owners.
No one is ever taught to “shoot to harm.”
How does your daily spamming reduce the number of people killed by gunshot by a single death?
It’s just objective fact.
This is demonstrably false.
You are the one who doesn’t want to accept it lol. You made a very silly and easily disproven categorical claim above.
Of course. It’s a tiny percentage. And most of those 20,000 are inner city gang/drug related.
You have to actually be stupid to try to bring a firearm on a plane. But, stupidity was not factored into the 2nd Amendment.Entitlement? Stupidity? Arrogance?
Why do Americans keep bringing guns through airport security?
Five Caribbean vacationers and now a congresswoman have been charged with firearms violations in recent months.
Michael Lee Evans remembered he had misplaced the ammunition clip for a pistol years ago, but he didn’t expect to see it come out of his luggage. It was an even bigger surprise for the 72-year-old from Texas to learn he could be facing years in prison for bringing the bullets into Turks and Caicos.
Evans said a December anniversary trip turned into a “nightmare” when he and his wife, Sharon Evans, were stopped by security at Providenciales International Airport. He was arrested and taken to the police station, but it wasn’t until he talked to an attorney provided by the local government that he realized the severity of the situation.
“I asked him, ‘How much trouble am I in?’” Evans recalled, and the attorney answered, “You are in significant risk.”
Turks and Caicos prohibits the possession and use of unlicensed firearms and ammunition under an ordinance that has led to at least five American arrests in the British territory over the past seven months, including Evans. In interviews with The Washington Post or reports by other media, each of those travelers have said they packed ammunition by accident. That was the same explanation that Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) gave after she was charged with bringing an unloaded handgun to Dulles International Airport on June 28.
The incidents in Turks and Caicos tie into a trend with U.S. travelers. The number of firearms detected and intercepted at U.S. airports has risen for the past 10 years, with the exception of 2020, when travel diminished with the start of the pandemic. This summer, with a record-breaking number of Americans traveling, more guns and ammo are making their way into airports.
Guns, like softball bats, knives, motor vehicles etc, can be USED to kill. But your categorical claim that guns are DESIGNED to kill, is demonstrably false.
