Ridiculous and hypocritical.

They are the out of control guns!

>> Please try to keep your responses clean, don’t post what you first want to say ...

Now you tell us...

Anyway, this would be a great way to unify America’s sights against a common adversary.

All the mass shootings take place in gun-free zones.

Outlaw gun-free zones.

Problem solved.

He is welcome to try to take them.

We got ourselves a slow learner Limey.

We kicked their butts out once and thought that would be enough but no, they had to come back and we had kick their butts again.

Now this slow learner wants to try a third time.

Someone needs to inform this slow learner the third time we don’t play nice.

I found the 32,000.

It said we had 10 gun related deaths per 100,000 people. and 6 of those deaths are suicide. US gun deaths

Then I found this link that shows the total suicide rate. Suicide rate by country Which shows that the UK has almost as many suicides as we do. Apparently they find other ways to kill themselves.

F the UN et al...and especially this simpleton POS from the Guardian/Observer. These A-holes from England don’t get it...the Revolutionary War that pounded their salt was fought because they attempted to take our guns. We won, they lost. Get over it your British A-holes.

As for the death by gun in this country, recognize that the Obama/Holder people are out of control, mostly killing themselves. Sometimes they are killing whites in hate-crime scenerios, but never charged. The large portion of deaths by gun in this country are suicides. And those would do it to them selves in many other ways, were a gun not available. And the majority of the Obama/Holder people are using guns where we have the most severe, restrictive gun laws (Chicago, DC etc)

So again I say, FU you British A-holes. And you too, Obama/Holder.

If this perennial slaughter doesn't qualify for intercession by the UN and all relevant NGOs, it is hard to know what does.

Look at the rates, not the numbers. Anyone can play with statistics.

Speaking of slaughters though, just try to intervene in America. Molon Labe. There is no way any outside entity could anticipate what they would find themselves in. No way. It would make "Red Dawn" look like a Disney movie. It would make Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. look like rowdy soccer crowds. Within 6 months, a year at most you wouldn't be able to find any UN personnel willing to "deploy" to America.

I think they would find that we have a lot more British friends than enemies.

Where is the ULTRA MEGA BARF ALERT?

BTW, this is about my 4th attempt at a ‘clean’ response.

Yes, please intervene. You’ll only do it once.

“BTW, this is about my 4th attempt at a ‘clean’ response.”

LOL!

It took me a while too — that’s why I added that caution. :)

Come and take them. I’ll quite enjoy blue helmeted targets wandering around my neighborhood, and I’m sure a lot of my neighbors would as well.

“The author is not interested in facts.”

Or in public safety. Leftards want guns banned because they want to do things they can’t do while the people are armed—things that they shouldn’t do.

It has nothing to do with safety, and everything to do with tyranny.

I concur. Molon labe.
And as my NRA bumper sticker states, “STAND AND FIGHT”
And I like the Texas version: “Come and take it.”

The last time the Brits got all buttinski about taking our guns away didn't go real well for them, did it.
