| In a school class a long long time ago we were given a statement" "Indians always walk in single file; I saw one doing it once." To me this typifies the attitude of many anti-gun posters. "I once saw/heard about someone doing something with a gun and it frightened me." OR "I just don't trust other ... |

| That's basically the problem with unregulated capitalism. Governments are bought by the big corporations. These are not interested in long term planning _ only in short and medium term profit. So the nations end up doing what's of short/medium term advantage. But it will end up backfiring. Almost a... |

| 1- Hahahahahaha! That one really made me laugh! Very, very good. You are either thinking of Salazar or you're thinking that Portugal is a province of Spain. Unfortunately, by the rest of your sentence, I'm 99% sure you're thinking Portugal is a province of Spain. LOL! You accused my country of bein... |

| All the U.S. bashing is getting a little annoying so I thought I'd take a peek to see why old modus has his panties all in a bunch. It seems old modus is only telling us half the truth about the heaven he calls Portugal. He deliberately doesn't mention, in his rant, how terrible things really are. ... |

| I'm portuguese. Go ahead. You might come up with something I don't know. 1- If you don't have any guns, it's probably because you gave them all to Franco.. I was just down in Costa Rica talking with a gentleman from Barcelona who lived under him. I didn't know about Austria's mock executions. Googl... |

| No, you don't sound nearly rugged enough to be from Greenland. If you'd said where you live, I could probably come up with something similar. I have family scattered over Europe and East Asia, and I've traveled in Central America. For every snide comment I hear about the US, I have one or two fun s... |

| Well, keep being nationalistic. Nationalism has done a lot for your country! :roll: What's wrong with criticising each others' countries if their culture is relevant to the subject matter? You, being into "hardcore" science, should know how important criticism is. I'm portuguese, btw. If you people ... |

Using a gun would take all the fun out of it, right? but we don't die on the street because we don't have health insurance. Just one of the many ways my country is way ahead of yours. 2- The United ... |

Yes, there are gun owners in my country but they are few. And I like it that way. Even if one day, by some awfull bad luck, I get a gun pointed at me, I prefer it this way. |

In your country they don't have a Bill of Rights so taking your guns away wasn't a big step for the RCMP or who eve... |

The irony is palpable, right?
EDIT: Meh, aparently pointing out the brutality of "pro-guners" is worse than the brutality of the "pro-guners" itself. So this has been edited by me. |

| But, if you want to check for yourself, watch the Daily Show with Jon Stewart of 29th of April. If you want to, I can sum it up in few words: in Georgia a law was passed allowing guns to be used almost everywhere. What is one of the few rare exceptions? The place where the lawmakers work. ;) Ahh ye... |

| People need to get a reality check on what a gun silencer is. It doesn't make a handgun sound like a sneezing cat so that you can stealthily kill people, but reduces the loudness of a gun by about 20 dB, so that you won't permanently damage your hearing by using it at for example an indoor shooting... |

There are three chances and no more. 1- This girl is ret*d. 2- This girl is psychotic; 3- This girl has been severely brainwashed.
I vote number 3. |
