ORIGINAL: WhoreMods A civilised arrangement, that. Has any bar owner (or the owner of any other "leave it in the car" business) been subjected to pickets by gun enthusiasts for exercising that legal right? Actually, not really. There have been a few of the idiots who have tried the 'constitutional open carry' protests carrying AR type rifles into a few restaurants with these notifications and when informed by law enforcement that the owner's right to deny the carrying of firearms in his or her establishment has equal stand under the constitution, and since technically it IS his/her property, his/her rights exceed the gun owners. quote:
ORIGINAL: WickedsDesire I distort nothing at all. I can you know. I am forever fascinated at Amercashire jackals killing themselves at the rate of 30,000-35,000 per annum. That is a truly incredible number. And how I laugh when a 2 year kid blows its mums brains all over the windscreen – cracks me up every time i repetitively read that one, or its similar variants. Still, one dead what is he a bad shot and fuking blind? Yep, great number 30000 to 35000, big number even.... I guess it does not matter that 60% of those people committed suicide and would have found some other way to kill themselves? That leaves 14000 that died at the hands of another person. So, why not post relevant statistics. I think it is funny as hell when someone posts that number and then compares it to the rest of the world proclaiming that the US leads the world in gun deaths. Well, in a way that is true, the US leads the world in gun deaths IF you through out every country that is not a 'developed' nation. When you compare the US just to those in the Western Hemisphere, the US drops to 18th, and of course the countries beating it have problems with drug cartels, etc... and private ownership of guns in almost ALL of those countries is illegal. When you compare the US to the rest of the world, excluding those countries where there are armed conflicts, the US falls rises to 12th over all, and just about every country that is ahead of it has some very draconian anti gun laws in place, i.e commit a crime using a gun you are executed. And there are even smaller countries that beat the US in gun related deaths each year, also not involved in armed conflict, just have a major problem with drug cartels. So, the issue is clearly NOT the fact that the US has a lot of gun related deaths, because as I pointed out there are countries that have more gun related deaths than the US, and also have laws preventing private gun ownership (pretty much shoots the 'outlaw guns and gun violence goes away' argument in the ass.) No the issue for all non Americans who live in countries who do not allow private gun ownership is that we are not doing what the fuck everyone else is doing. So let me ask you a simple question: Those no private gun ownership laws in France sure worked wonders to prevent gun crime didn't they? Oh, wait, they didn't.
