Yes, our gun ownership laws are too restrictive, but the gun is not considered as central to our liberties as they are to yours because of the differences in history I describe. You just don't want to see that, do you?

Sorry Ivan as I stated Our laws are based and inherirted from English law.
Starting just before 1900 British laws were being modified to slowly dimish your right to own and bear arms . I suggest you try and find a good source of history and read up on it as you don't get it. It is no coincidence that sliding into socialism and being disarmed go hand in hand>

It is true what you say about the government being more heavily armed but they are far outnumbered and look what ONE sniper can do
In addition ever wonder why the left wingers are so steadfast in trying to disarm the people. They must fear something

No argument about the fact that a truely unbiased media in this country would have brought down Clinton and Gore long ago etc etc

I know my own country's history; you would be unwise to challenge me on that aspect.

Oh the reason why the left wants you disarmed is very simple - it's more to do with the idea of individuals fending for themselves, at least in terms of self-defence. In case you hadn't noticed, the left wingers are ALWAYS against people fending for themselves, unless of course they're rich and white and been taxed to death.

One sniper was able to spread terror among innocent civilians. It is hard to imagine that paradigm working in relation to the government.
