    Well if you look at from a safety stand point, keeping the guns from progressive will save progressive lives! Just think how many will accidently shoot their buddies and themselves :roflol:

    I didn't say anything about not wanting someone to have a gun. I just remarked how some of these wannabe principled progressives who want to restrict and/or ban guns suddenly go out and get guns when there is a Republican President in the White House. Like I said, they don't really stand for anything except winning elections.

    Righties buy guns because they are fun and it is permitted by the second amendment.

    Lefties don't find fun in anything so this is much ado about nothing.

    It didn't lower violent crime in the UK.

    What the brainless left still doesn't realize is that for every gun they take away from a law abiding citizen, that's easier pickins' for a criminal who can buy one from a homie on the block.

    The UK allows rifles, shotguns, and handguns under certain conditions.
    Thus, the UK has not banned guns; you have disproved your own claim. Well done.
    No western nation has banned guns. Not one. Not even Japan.

    As far as the other points you did not address -- I accept your concession.

    Ahhh... see, that's their goal.
    Disarming the law-abiding makes them dependent on the state for security.

    Which makes it truly ironic that they hate police so much!

    There are 30,000 deaths a year in the US due to guns. 2/3 of those are suicides.

    Why are so many people worried about the 10,000 who are killed and not the 20,000 who commit suicide? The bigger problem is suicide, not guns.

    My experience is that marriage is killing more people than guns. Middle-age men are killing themselves in droves. I was almost one of them.

    Nah. What's funny is the thought of right-wingers shaking in their boots because law-abiding progressive patriots are exercising their Jesus-given right to bear arms.

    (Possibly NSFW):[video=youtube;WErjPmFulQ0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WErjPmFulQ0[/video]

    But, of course, we all know that there wasn't racism in the US until President Obama was elected.

    God never intended for liberals to own guns. Don't you read your bible?

    No racism until Obama? People like that are just too stupid to bother arguing. You might as well try to teach a monkey to play Mozart on the piano.

    It is funny how the righties are now shaking in their boots over a left wing that's arming itself.

    Oh, so that's how you're going to spin away your years of advocating for gun restrictions and bans? Because of a "Jesus-given" (something you don't believe in) "right to bear arms" (again, something you don't believe in). Why not just admit to being hypocritical?

    Nobody is afraid of a bunch of libs buying guns. It's just funny to point out how hypocritical they are, and how their ideology doesn't stand for anything.

    He isn't.
    Liberals argue whatever they believe will allow their party to gain and retain the most political power possible at that moment
    The fact they argue the position opposite they argued yesterday is meaningless.

    In the British army we use the SA80, which is not the greatest around, we hated it in ‘The Troubles’ in Ireland. I believe I have fired the AR15 and certainly the M1 Garand.
    Incidentally your logistics used to support your troops are second to none. The British politicians equip our army on a shoe string; it’s really criminal in what they send our guys out to do with absolute crap. Would you believe a father had to buy a flack jacket in the UK for his son serving in Afghanistan.
    We beg borrow and steal from your guys as they did in WW2.
    In Africa I used the AK-74- 5.45×39mm which never let me down.

    Yep, and I've made that argument for years. They view things like integrity and consistency as potential hindrances to their goal of gaining political power, so they abandon those concepts. When an opportunity for their party and ideology to gain power comes around, they can't spend time worrying about how hypocritical they would appear if they suddenly did a 180 on a position, so they just move on and act like they never held any other position but the one they have that day.

    There are a few honest and consistent liberals out there who you can at least respect for that reason alone, but they are seem to be in the minority in that party.

    I didn't realize you were form the UK.
    I'm sure our guys are happy to give what they can - at least, I hope so.

    And they wonder how they lost in 2016.

    Look up the word "sarcasm".

    You've heard of dictionaries, right?

    Can you tell us why you think this way? I ask this in a non-aggressive, non-confrontational manner. Personally I am neutral to slightly positive on my view towards the NRA and I am always curious as to why some people think differently. You seem to have real conviction in what you believe.

    And yet, in a nation with three hundred to five hundred million firearms currently in circulation, and approximately forty thousand more being added to circulation daily, the number of deaths attributed to firearms remains, for all intents and purposes, statistically minute. Perhaps you can elaborate on just how that is?

    Trump supporters must love that so many model citizens are exercising their 2nd Amendment rights.
