Criminals love gun control! It makes their job safer.

Why, we can't have armed citizens defending themselves. That would be flagrantly preposterous!!

When will these liberal idiots get a clue? Wait. I know the answer. NEVER.

It's not that they don't understand nor even that they don't believe. It's that they know guns run counter to their plan. There is no way that thinking people could take this crap seriously therefore they are purposely ignoring logic, reason and fact in order to forward their agenda.

I hope we continue to have one too...

We're not that far off from the Brits..timeline wise anyway..

Ex...

"Despite these rates, which Malcolm is right to call astonishingly low, the British government decided at the turn of the 20th century to begin a program of gun control that would ensure "that nobody except a soldier, sailor, or policeman, should have a pistol at all." The claimed justification was the "enormous" number of handgun injuries."

While we already have some of the toughest gun laws in the world, there has been an unacceptable increase in the flagrant use of guns in crime across the country," said Home Secretary David Blunkett.

"We will not tolerate an escalation of the number of guns on our streets," he added.

You said it. The place with the toughest gun laws in the country is (or was until recently I believe) the murder (by gun) capital of the world.

Proof positive....

And these are the people whose freedoms were bought with the lives of American servicemen during WWII? It would appear, then, to have been a wasted effort.

The British sheep are on their way to the slaughterhouse, without complaint.

Only the government has a right to autonomy there ... and criminals. Muslim Jihad will be very easy there. Converting people to the religion with illegal guns and machetes will be butter.

Autonomy is forbiden and American autonomy first... oh, and it the Jews fault too while they are at it ... Apparently they know the poor Brits are going to the slaughterhouse, so they are preempting the fault on Americans. A subtle subversion of America via a twisted road to pogroms and gun laws.

Nothing new since April 19, 1775, at Lexington, Massachusetts.
