Yet Another Gun Outrage in USA

[nookiebear]

Why is the US so much more violent than Europe?

It ain't rocket science   

It Is To Urleft!!

[nookiebear]

Certain people cannot see the wood for the trees,at least it livened the forum up somewhat

[nookiebear]

Could CNN host Piers Morgan have been addressing our old pal Urleft when he said 'You are an unbelievably stupid man aren't you.You have absolutely no coherent argument.You don't actually give a damn about the gun murder rate in America'..........

[nookiebear]

Perhaps our old pal Urleft is among the 31,000 blockheads who have signed a petition to get Piers Morgan deported............Guess he should have stuck to taking prohibited photos of 'frozen turkeys' in Makro's

I would also interested to know , in australia if you own a gun and not many do as i have said , those who have registered gun or guns have to have a safe to put them into , is that the law there , and do you have to have all the guns you own registered with anyone.
Would someone from the usa be able to answer my question please

Thank you as I am probably the closest thing this forum has to a Rocket Scientist, having worked 30 years in the Rocket City as an Engineer. 

Tipping a few Nookie, you're riled up today?

I never said I don't care about the murder rate, my issues are with infringements on my rights.  For example, how do you feel about the ban on smoking in your business?  Should you as the business owner have the say on whether customers can smoke in your establishment?  I personally believe that decision should be yours, not forced on you by the GVT.  It took 40 years of slow incremental steps to get to that ban, but the activists achieved it. 

As far as Piers Morgan, my basic response is Who?  Don't really care either way if he gets deported, however, as with me, if you are a guest in a foreign country, be careful what you say, you can be deported.

The difference is that in the US we have Wacko citizens that kills 10s of people, as opposed to Europe which has wacko governments that kill thousands of millions (at a time).

Ahab My logic isn't in question. I'm talking about roads or cars I stated poorly trained drivers. If you want to challenge that make a new post and I will provide the info.

BUTTTTTTTT Why should i be sitting in mr nookiebears cafe , having a meal and breathing your smoke , smoking is banned in all restaurants outside shopping centres which are under cover,public transport etc etc,in australia, i dont mind the person smoking that is your right.

You will get no argument from me about poorly trained drivers. Everyone with a driver's license at one time had to pass a test and show some level of driving skill. Many people are just stupid and many of those that are stupid also drive.

I should have been a fisherman..............Urleft would get tired of being thrown back in!!

History Lesson......


Two studies have been conducted that attempt to number the natives Indians killed by the United States. The first of these was sponsored by the United States government, and while official does not stand up to scrutiny and is therefore discounted (generally); this estimate shows between 1 million to 4 million killed. The second study was not sponsored by the US Government but was done from independent researchers. This study estimated populations and population reductions using later census data. Two figures are given, both low and high, at: between 10 million and 114 million Indians as a direct result of US actions. Please note that Nazi Holocaust estimates are between 6 and 11 million; thereby making the Nazi Holocaust the 2nd largest mass murder of a class of people in history.

the US we have Wacko citizens

I wonder what our American friends would think of a suggestion I heard from an Aussie recently - to tax weapons and ammunition beyond that of the basic wage earner? This would bring in much needed taxation as well as pay for the medical care needed when these situations occur. I would suggest a 20% tax on weapons and 30% on ammunitions.

Or does that inflict on you so-called freedom, or is that socialism :-/

I'm an American.

I own guns, both for sport and self protection.  I also enjoy shooting as a hobby.

I really don't give a flying fcuk what all the "foreigners" think about our gun laws.

If you're not complaining about "our" gun laws, you're complaining about something else of "ours"!

[Jamaw]

Fair point. However, if America didn't stick its nose into the business of other countries and interfere with the running of their governments or regimes then perhaps you wouldn't have to much criticism. But until then, if you dish it out, you have to receive it. And that includes Neanderthal attitudes.
