Gun Control

[Tenrocca]

Comparing yourself to 2nd and third world countries to prove a point?

I'm not trying to start a pissing match over which country is better than another. What I'm saying is that it is so obvious to the whole of the developed world that gun control or lack there of is a huge problem in the U.S......and as you as a whole are so insular you just can't see it.

Even if they had total gun control, it would be impossible to get rid of the millions of guns out there. The law can't even stop the illegal drugs.

"200,000 guns sold on Black Friday". Thats 199,000 more than would have been sold if they could only be bought for a legitimate purpose. While I agree it would be difficult at the moment gun ownership in the US is completely out of control.

And because you are so worldly, you know all about us and what our problems are/are not?

I don't even know what your above post is trying to convey. Are you suggesting that 199,000 people went through the federal background check and were approved to buy guns for illegitimate purposes? Yes, our federal government is in the habit of authorizing sales to individuals who should not by law have guns so said guns can be used for "illegitimate" purposes. . On second thought, maybe I should give an exception for Fast and Furious, but I digress....

In any event, please do us all a favor and don't speak of things that you know nothing about. It only irritates us and make you look ignorant. Or if you insist on demostrating your ignorance, at least do so by prefacing it with "IMO", because we can't deny you your opinion no matter how ill informed it may be. After all, you know what they say about opinions and a$$holes, everyone's got one.

And my non restricted cobra exhaust is killing people also, should they ban my car... The USA is the best with all our guns and cobras, if I lived in Aussi my big block would be outlawed, that sucks in my opinion...

I am not comparing our country to any 3rd world country. You have some comprehension skills. I am saying just about every citizen in a 3rd world country would love to live in the USA and have the guns we have to fight their tyrannical governments.

Maybe that is why the USA is still a free country and most other countries are not?

You actually are making a comparison between 3rd world countries and the US by saying just that. You should be making a like for like comparison with other first world countries like Australia or any other 1st world country that doesn't have a massive gun problem.

Id imagine most citizens of other 1st world countries would not like to live in the US, with gun and other violence being a significant reason behind that.

Feeling good about yourself by saying your conditions are the envy of some 3rd world country is like boasting about beating the under 6 team from the local blind school in a softball comp.
