Brussels Is Wrong on Guns
The Wall Street Journal ^ | January 25, 2017 | John R. Lott Jr.

Posted on 01/26/2017 1:34:08 PM PST by rogerantone1

Strict new European gun-control regulations will take another step on Thursday when a committee of the European Parliament votes on a set of measures. The Parliament and the European Commission already have agreed to the proposal in principle. Prompted by terrorist attacks in Paris and Copenhagen, these regulations would prohibit the civilian use of most semiautomatic firearms. As is typical of such laws, however, they will do nothing to prevent the kind of attacks being used to justify them.

Europe is out of control, both in government and demographics. They are finally panicking about their pathetic choices. This is another irrational result.

The Euroweenies in action AGAIN.

If this is allowed to stand, industries in Europe will suffer.

It very clearly illustrates who the hell the EU people are and exactly what the hell they represent.

All the more reason for the EU to collapse.

Brussels (EU) is wrong on just about everything, aren’t they?

The mosques of Europe are stuffed full of guns which will be exempt from any rules the Euro-weenies come up with. Why exempt? Because the muzzies won’t give them up and the weenies are afraid to take them.

Liberal way to disarm their population:

1 Attack occurs

2 Condemn attackers

3 Allow more attackers into countries

4 Restrict firearms to civillians

5 Tout safer now because you cant get guns

6 Back to 1

This should help propel the break up of the EU among countries with rural/farming populations.

Yes but....think of the many barbers in the EU who have had to buy EU approved shaving brushes.

And the barber who was fined $3,000 because he used a 25 year old brush that had not been approved!

And the approved curvature for bananas. Can they live with bananas which don’t meet the EU standards for curvature?

It’s anarchy, I’m telling ya, sheer Anarchy.
