    Is it strict enough in the US? Or, maybe I should be asking, does it even exist in the US?

    Columbine, Virginia Tech, The Amish school... Are these all fair game for your rights to bare arms?

    In my opinion, you'd have to be off your rocker to believe that to be the case.

    For what? For having an opinion that differs from yours?

    I think gun control violates a basic principle: I have the right to defend what is mine and I have the right to protection from government abuses. Guns aford me the ability to enable that. I am a responsible and law-abaiding citizen and should not have my rights violated because some people aren't.

    Any law that restricts or controls firearms is an infringement upon the second amendment.

    Then the second amendment is an Arse. It's over 200 years old, maybe it's time to have another look at it?

    You're happy for people to go about 'Inciting racial hatred' and 'promoting terrorism', then?

    Anyway, your point makes no sense as the two are completely different.

    All the cases you cite are cases where the law abiding had no means of self defense. And criminals don't care what the laws are.

    No they aren't designed to kill. Guns are designed to accurately send a projective downrange at high velocities.

    Stop posting.

    The debate is over. I've already pre-emptively trumped anything that the pro-gun people can ever say.

    Of course I am. People can't be forced or hypnotized into doing what they wouldn't normally do by mere speech.

    You stated the amendment should be given another look due to its age. The 1st amendment is just as old.

    When it is as obviously backwards as being able to nip to the corner shop for a six pack, A pack of chewing gum, some chewing tobacco, a spittoon, and an AK47. It needs looking at... Along with Capital punishment, I might add.

    Guns are bad you fuckin N00bs.

    I remember a few months back on Sky News, some fella started sleep walking, thinking he was playing CS, and pwned like, 33 people. I would say it was a moster kill, but, others say mega kill.

    Dickhead forgot to put respawn on. Lollage.

    People need a looking at when being able to purchase firearms is a national crisis. There are plenty of individuals who own them without causing problems.

    OOOH I feel strongly about that. Let's debate for hours on end. Spectacular first impression, good sir. Wow.
