Hey UK, it's what you did to us that made us have that 2nd Amendment.

Yes. The second amendment isn't about hunting, or even home protection. It's about preventing government tyranny.

Twice in one century. I don’t think they’ll even try to save themselves, in this century. There’ll be minarets on Buckingham Palace and there won’t be anything to save, anyway.

That’s a great remark on D-Day. Does the twit think British guns drove the Nazis out of France? We should have kept our guns and Lend Lease at home and let the Nazis have Britain. The German accent she would have today would sound so cute.

Because we are citizens, not subjects.

I hope and pray that when/if the time comes I’ll be as brave as my ancestors were.

Hear hear. Well said!!!!!

Sometimes, we forget that the purpose of guns is not only for protection against an ACTIVE and HOSTILE Tyrannical Government. The Founders and Framers were wise enough to know that sometimes you need protection when government fails to do what it ought.... whether intentionally or unintentionally. The primary purpose of Government is protection, and when it won’t even do that, it’s time to think of a different course.

Because in this country we are citizens. In the UK the people are subjects.

The assumption of gun-grabbing countries is that they are always right.

In the UK they just switch to knives and illegal guns. Banning guns,
knives, butter knives, sticks, stones, ropes or any other implements of murder isn’t going to solve the problem unless you can remove murder from the hearts of the people that do it.

I watch UK tv, old shows.

Brits have shotguns with double barrels seemingly preferred.

Even though there are admittedly lots of keyboard commandos, out right cowards, and just plain beta males out there,if there were a door to door gun seizure implemented in this country the riots by blm and antifa would look like a save the whales demonstration by the gay men’s nature club. People who are prepared to do whatever it takes and more will take care of business. Believe me there are plenty enough real men left to get the job done. You can sit in your house and wring your hands while handing over your property to a bunch of tyrant cowardly cops and politicans, or you can join in the fight and settle this once and for all. It wont take as many people as you think to back them off. Please don’t paint all Americans with the same brush

There is no winning until and unless the City States are destroyed. They will stand as unassailable castles of progressive power

...when every single morning, we wake up and there is another mass shooting.

Unless you are including all of your blue City States like Chiraq, then you are a lying skank.

And yet you would deny the Ukrainians the exact same right.

Hypocrite.

I totally support the right of Ukrainians to own AR-15s, AK-47s, etc. 100%.

What the eff are you talking about?

I would like to think that this would be the dumbest comment I will read on FReep today but its not even 1030AM here so the day is young and the competition will be stiff. Hang in there.

I’m Jewish, too. I wonder about applying Yiddish terminology to goys like Katy Kay.
