The polarizing topic of gun control in the U.S. is once again in the national and world spotlight as gun manufacturer PARA USA calls for a boycott of the film Taken 3. The film’s lead actor, Liam Neeson, told a reporter last week that he felt there were too many guns in America. During the interview he added, “Every week now we’re picking up a newspaper and seeing ‘Yet another few kids have been killed in schools.’”
While the debate over the constitutionality of gun control laws rages, Neeson’s comment exemplifies the critical view of the rest of the world on gun control in the U.S. Nations such as France, Germany, the U.K. and Australia have strict gun control laws that make it difficult for anyone to own firearms. Political scientists and politicians say that is something not likely to change despite the recent attacks on the Charlie Hebdo office in Paris.

The entire ME gets a pass.
The irony is that every time the left whines about guns, gun sales increase. Private citizens have enough guns to take over the world, and they ain’t about to give them up for a faggot commie POTUS : )
It's a solid global image to have - "don't @#ck with those guys - they're violent gun nuts!"
That's right eurobitches! Eat your cheese and shut your mouth.
“The film’s lead actor, Liam Neeson”..
Who gives a rats ass what Neeson says, he’s only an actor who has nothing to contribute to our safety.
Obama is trying to bankrupt gun stores by denying them access to banks.
Saw an advert for a Sean Penn film this weekend...
The same Sean Penn who converted most of his gun collection into some metrosexual art at the behest of his current sow...
Anyone care to guess the basic theme of the film advertised?
LOL. Hey guys, we'll let you know when enough time has passed from the USA saving all your asses from Hitler.
We don't need to be brought into your Marxist fold, you authoritarian collectivist fools; you need to be brought into our fold.
I'd suggest you remember that, you submissive ingrates.
The entire gun control project is for the empowerment of the NWO.
The US is one of the last areas of the world that is preventing the dark cloak of Communism from encompassing the world.
People who live outside the US have no rights. That they have the comfortable lifestyle they have now is due to us.
Looking at the number of homicides committed with firearms is to define firearms as the problem, when it is the most critical part of the debate. To give an example, no one wants people to die in hospitals. If we ban hospitals, then we will prevent nearly all “hospital deaths”. But, the overall death rate will rise. That is why you have to consider the total unjustified homicide rate rather than simply the homicide rate committed with firearms. Firearms might raise the unjustified overall rate, they might lower it. Most of the studies out there indicate that the overall rate is either unaffected or slightly lowered. But the presence of firearms does *not* seem to raise the overall unjustified homicide rate.
OOorah, brother.
It goes way back to the early 1970s.
Dennis Weaver (McLoud), Richard Boone(Heck Ramsey) and many others had anti-handgun lines written into their TV scripts.
Even ALL IN THE FAMILY had an anti-gun rant.
Dr Quincy Medicine Man
Hawaii five-0
and way too many at that time had their anti-gun rant.
It was hard to find a TV show without an anti-gun, anti-hunting rant.
The free market will prevail.
If he wants a war over guns, well... OUR ancestors had the right response for that mentality.
The world is jealous. Nothing new.
” If he wants a war over guns, well... OUR ancestors had the right response for that mentality.”
IIRC, we won that one too.
If we’re soooooooo bad why are the people of the world trying to move here and become citizens?
You know what Neeson can kiss.
Indeed.
At cost.
The cost was freedom, and we are once again, at the precipice. Yogi Berra: “ Deja vu, all over again! “
Hey, sheep of the world! Bring your Blue Helmets over here and try to take mine! I dare ya!
