I'm not gonna criticize anyone else for doing that. It is, after all, theoretically a free country.
I thought the freedom includes the freedom to criticize. Or pointing out the bad taste of someone who makes Christmas cards with guns. You know, this was supposed to be celebrating the birthday of someone who had little to do with guns and violence.

Not allowed in the US either - unless the private security company is licensed and bonded. I get the feeling that "honey" is referring to something all together different.
People are allowed to organize militias in this country, fgs. At least in my state they are. Those militias can operate as an armed presence at part of an event where they are welcome. There is nothing illegal about that. Google orgs like Socialist Rifle Association and the John Brown Gun Club. We are talking about something different, clearly. Trouble is, I don't know what you're talking about.

Our second amendment was written specifically to allow us to overthrow our government if needed. Our freedoms are laid out in our Declaration of Independence (yes, the forgotten document) where it spells out that a free people have the fundamental right to replace their government at any time they feel they're being trampled on by said government. The second amendment is there to enforce that right.
Yes, two and a half centuries ago, in which time you've never used it other than to defend gun ownership, so that makes it totally relevant today :thumbsup:

Respectfully, I would suggest that even if it was written with that intent, in the meantime said government bought a few tanks, airplanes, missiles, etc. while prohibiting the populace to buy any of them. Today your chance of "fighting the government" with guns is a bit less than zilch.

I'll stand corrected... ...my experience is limited. I don't attend events where armed militias are needed - they sound "unhealthy".
What's unhealthy was what happened in Charlottesville. Where the cops did $#* all.

The CP Lounge is not the proper forum for this. In fact, CP no longer has any forum for this. Tread lightly.

THe 2nd ammendment is irrelevant??? It's never been more relevant than today. Is the 1st irrelevant? The 4th? The 5th? They're not irrelevant because the 2nd still is.

Every single one of them is properly handling the weapon. None are pointed at anyone and no one has their finger near the trigger. (The congressman might but I suspect his finger is wrapped around the trigger guard.)
I'm sure they are as JSOP pointed out earlier - as a brit I struggle to understand why one family have enough firepower to win a small war

It seems everything is political these days. Even decency. It makes me a little sick. It's not your fault. I'm just over it.
