Morman is on a mission? Is he saving the earth?

he's still bitter about the cuban missile crisis.

so no one here knows what classical liberalism is? loul okay.

the two are virtually identical. libertarianism is more or less just the modern form.

I think the last time I was here he got banned for posting erotic fiction about peter mandelson and his (female) secretary. At least I think that was why he was banned? I found it hilarious anyway.

Speaking as a non-US citizen, I believe that non-US citizens (I'm looking at you Piers Morgan), nor people who don't actually live in the US (sheltered and hotel/chauffer lifestyle doesn't count, Mr. Morgan) don't have a valid opinion. At all.

Also, to reference crime rates in another country based in another continent is moot due to cultural differences and the country's overall state. And besides that, the US has a rather unique system in which what may be illegal in one state is perfectly legal in another. So, whilst gun control may be the answer in Texas for example (using names - not the states themselves - as an example only ), it may not be for Illinois.

Bottom line is that laws ain't as black and white as people like to think due to how over-bureaucratised capitalist countries are, so the US as a whole will probably ramble on with this debate for a good few years until (hopefully) the perfect solution is met for each state and each citizen that inhabits it.

But if you want my invalid opinion, it's people - not guns - who are the problem. Make all these "scary-looking" and "demonised" guns illegal, and only the responsible gun owners suffer. Criminals will always be able to get hold of the weapon they want because, as their label suggests, they disregard the law.

this is the most intelligent reply to this topic thus far and probably the most intelligent that will be posted on this forum.

dont worry guys nasa said global warming isn't real

the only reason amazon is cheaper is because it dodges tax by shipping through the channel islands. which is part of the reason HMV is more expensive.

bit of an unprovoked insult against ryudo there

margaret thatcher was a horrible prime minister who destroyed livelihoods, communities and made lives hell for many people. I can totally and utterly understand people wanting to dance on her grave after the stuff some people went through.


however i wish her family the best

please can we hide jeff's existence from north korea, we don't want to give them reason to hate us even more

Therefore he needs not refer to any external sources on the topic.

RT was set up by mr. putin to promote a pro-Russian, anti-Western stance. It constantly downplays criticism of the corrupt, undemocratic Russian government (see: a strong lack of said criticisms), promotes Putin's foreign policy (see: its support of Assad in Syria) and is generally pretty conspiratorial and sensationalist about the U.S. politics(see: the whole site). RT makes no attempt at truthful journalism. It is literally propaganda straight from the Kremlin and there is a reason people view it as a joke. if you must read a foreign news outlet go for al jazeera or something.

also while i acknowledge that the BBC isn't perfect, I do find it amusing how the right constantly accuse it of being too left leaning and the left, vice versa. pretty funny really, at least i think so.

feelers has actually managed to bring me and jeff into agreement on something. sickening. I hope he is happy.

in a week I will have handed my dissertation in, so I think that might be it (when it happens)

wtf that is is stupid. I would NEVER have got a rifle at 11. I had to make do with a handgun.

Gun laws vary from state to state. Some gun laws are extremely strict while others are fairly weak. Why are there more strict in some states than others? I would say due to the amount of gun related crimes, and the overall political view of the state. This is a democracy, after all. The popular opinion is the one that should come out on top.

Thing is, there is a point where gun laws can get too strict. What if the government gets so corrupt that a militia does need to go against their government? I am sure when I said "this is a democracy" in my previous paragraph at least one person thought "Yea, right... maybe if our votes actually mattered." or something along those lines. We do vote for who we want to place in office, but it is no secret that this is not a perfect system. If the system gets out of whack enough, we will still need to have the ability to be able to rise against the government and protect ourselves from tyranny.

This demonstration is a direct representation to see if it is still possible for people to create such a militia. The law says we can, but giving the current popular opinion of the country, is it even possible? The intent of these people are not to overthrow the government (which is, no shit, illegal as hell). In washington DC, a civilian cannot even get a concealed handgun permit if they had good reason to, which I think is kinda bullshit.

I'm aware of why the right to bear arms exists. I get that. I don't necessarily agree with the outdated justification but, along with the reasoning for the protest, I get it. What I don't get is how this will help your position. If you threaten any government with armed revolt - and let's be honest, despite the claims of peaceful protest, it is still a threat - it will respond defensively, regardless of whether it is corrupt, fascist or democratic (see: my earlier point in regards to the October Revolution). This will not loosen gun laws in any way whatsoever, if anything it will do the opposite, giving politicians a reason to enforce them even further.

It is the sort of half-baked idea that one would expect from libertarians; completely idealistic, ill thought out and - at best - achieving absolutely nothing.

Now lets say your scenario does play out where shots are fired and people start dying. What does this mean? First, it means that the people who took part in this march were not "peaceful protesters" and were in fact terrorists with a very elaborate plan. The only reason a government official will fire is if they feel that their or someone else's life is in danger, meaning a participant of this march points their loaded weapon at someone else. That is clear ill intent which means intelligence failed to get a proper background on the organizer of this event. Since this is a march on Washington DC, it is a potential threat to national security so you can bet US intelligence agencies are following this with a close eye. Depending on what they come up with will determine the government's reaction to this event. This is not anything out of left field like 9/11, the Oklahoma bombings, or any other terrorist attack (it is posted on facebook for God's sake) so I expect this event to be handled extremely well. However, if your scenario does play out for whatever reason, that will just prove the government's sheer incompetence in being able to protect their own people, which is a signal that it may be time for a significant change. Not an american revolution change, but still a change.

You misunderstand. I'm not saying that it is a plan, or that the organisers are terrorists. What I am saying is that you have thousands of potentially angry and rowdy people with loaded guns. These people are not soldiers: they are not drilled, there is no discipline or command structure. This is simply a group of people. There is literally nothing to stop one person acting alone and firing shot at the security that would inevitably turn up. Maybe it would be out of malice, maybe out of nervousness. Either way, out of the number of protesters that are going, you cannot guarantee peoples' behaviour at all. Incidentally, this point once again makes me wonder how much thought was actually put into the protest at all.

does george cowell think he is being funny? what a nob.

absolutely, mittens is 100% correct. no one can condone their actions and for any progress to be made, muslim 'communities' need to bare the greatest responsibility (and already are to a great extent).

Gah, I just watched that video. Nob indeed. Who the hell is he, it seems he just rages about Islam is all his videos.
he's a youtube 'comedian', with views in the same vein as dawkins/hitchens/15 year olds etc.
