    Look, buddy. You don't live here. You aren't the one who has to be worried about getting car-jacked by a shotgun-wielding meth addict. Why not leave the self-satisfied ranting to those of us who do?

        Did he say anything about the illegal (notice i didnt use quotation marks because they ARE here illegaly) mexicans, you idiot? Several times a year here in Arkansas there will be an news story about a meth "lab" that has been busted.

          you're correct, obviously. there'll be some serious reaction, when (notice I didn't say if - I believe it to be ultimately a sure thing) it happens. the country will go far to the right (except with say maybe 10% to 15% who'll blame "us") and being a Muslim will be dangerous (and, yes I understand the error that will be).

                    As long as the reaction is aimed at those responsible for whatever the outrage is/was and that ALL Muslims must not be tarnished with the same brush otherwise the reaction to the reaction could be so great that the USA might (so to speak) grind to a halt for fear of who is standing infront or behind you.

                      A few years ago there was a news story from the small town i live in about a meth user who was on a bad batch, and came home and shot his mother, and if i remember correctly his grandmother too.

                        Considering the comments made by Espeir and others (including your good self)in earlier threads over the months, illegal Mexican seem to take a lot of blame for what appears to trouble you Americans, or have I read those postings incorrectly. For all I know, those meth drinking louts could easily fall within the context of the paragraph immediately above. Sorry if you were offended.

                            you would hope that would be the case but it will depend on whether Muslims view themselves as Americans and speak out against whatever the event happens to be or do they view themselves as Muslims first and defend the perpetrators. If they do the latter, to use an archaic American term, it'll be Katy bar the door.

                              That's not true. The argument that we are entitled to self-defense from crime is perfectly sensible. If your wife were raped, I'm sure you would wish that she had a gun on her at the time.

                              People who pull a gun on a crook often have it turned on them. And, what's wrong with mace ?

                                First, I do not own any guns. Just never found hunting fun. Where I live, we need people to hunt the land. Otherwise there would be too many deer, cougars, turkeys, geese...you name it. However, I don't think you need a 9mm to shoot a duck. I think that yes, we have the right to bear arms, but here is what I think the restrictions should be: 1. You can own a shotgun or rifle if you prove you have had a hunting license in the last five years. 2. No one should be allowed to own more than 2 handguns. Why? Because if there was a revolution you only have 2 hands. More than that is overkill. (Pun intended.) I don't understand why people horde guns and have their own arsenal. I don't understand the joy of shooting targets, animals or anything else. So while I agree with you to a certain extent, stop putting us all in one category! :-D

                                I think the thing is, we're bombarded by US media, it's only natural for people to think they have the right to apply blanket stereotypes. Not saying that it's right, tho.

                                  Sometimes i think you europeans are jealous of our right to bear arms. I am 16 and have 2 rifles and about 500 rounds of 7.62x39. i doubt that would be legal in your country, but it is here. :)

                                  Legal doesn't make it sensible. So you really are 16. Are you also really homeschooled/left to fend for yourself all day ? With two rifles ?

                                    Yes. What is wrong with that? They are just inanimate objects. It is not like they are going to shoot me when i am not watching or something... :rolleyes:

                                      The fact that your parents allow it lowers the odds that you are made from genetic material that would predispose you to common sense. I was more worried about what you could do to others, not you specifically as much as wondering how many school shootings start this way.

                                        The columbine shooting didnt happen becaue the kids had guns, they got guns for the purpose of taking them to school. I dont know where you get the idea that guns cause people to harm others.

                                          They don't, they simply provide the means and opportunity.
