You’d be speaking German, Paddy, if Americans with GUNS hadn’t sacrificed to save your lousy culture. STFU, you freak. Go back to France and whimper.

I’ll take his opinion more seriously when he doesn’t live in a country where some neighborhoods are so infested with mooselimbs the authorities won’t even go in there. In related news, the French Army is temporarily out of business. There was a fire at the white flag factory.

The whole reason this country was founded was to get away from the insipid serf-like thinking of this potatohead.

That’s funny. I have alot of guns an none of them have ever shot anyone.

Maybe it isn’t the guns after all?

There is nothing on this planet dumber than an anti-gunner, be they from the USA< Ireland, or France.

He’s Irish and living in France. Must be retarded. Accounts for his position on this bit.

To top it all off, France actually has relatively loose regulation of private firearms ownership, for a European patch.

The jerk’s opinion is SO irrelevant. He should be speaking German with an Irish accent if not for the people he rants on about.

Actually, the Swiss were overrun by the French during the Napoleonic Wars in 1798. Wound up getting fought back and forrth over by the French, Austrians and Russians (!). The Russkies may have been lost.

Didn’t get their full freedom back till 1814. And then it was essentially given to them by the European powers who had just defeated Napoleon, they didn’t win it for themselves by fighting.

My guess is he’s an ethnically Irish English citizen. I once had a friend of the type - she said she called herself English or Irish depending on who was winning at soccer.

I’m from England and live here and have a gun and the laws here are much better.

Maybe paddy should think about the guns the terrorists have in his own country and maybe piss off from here

bingo....I shoot with Brits and others from across the pond in my SASS club and at our range...they appreciate the freedoms we have here, more than, in some cases, natural born citizens, who want some freedoms, then vote with their ‘union’, to destroy those same freedoms....to buy that pound of flesh.

good luck and buy more guns
