2nd Amendment

[RockHunter]

Snip

I love it when people use Mexico as a demonstration of how "herp gun laws dont help, herp", it's like using the Soviet Union or Cuba as examples of how Communism always fails. Newsflash: Mexico isn't exactly a pure country, in case you didn't know, people are poor there, and cops are prone to taking bribes.

I'm glad I've made your day. Yes, I've heard that a lot about the USSR and Cuba not being examples of Communism. Just like i've been told that Socialism hasn't been given a real chance.

That is something you should consider before going "Mexico's gun law is shit herherher", yes, their gun law doesn't affect very much, but neither does their drug law or any other law for that matter.

I never said their gun laws are shit. If you're going to be so blase with the truth, at least put a disclaimer. I wouldn't want some one to confuse your drivel with my point of view. *

My point being that Mexico has strict gun laws and is in a world of hurt, it hasn't helped them one bit. I would also point out that the Obama administration hasn't helped the situation by selling military grade weapons to the Mexican Cartels under the guise of 'Operation Fast & Furious' , in an attempt to subvert the 2nd Amendment. People have died from a result of F&F , including Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry (google him) and countless Mexicans butchered.

You don't see the irony here? Mexico is the perfect example of a country that has strict gun laws, yet the criminals don't adhere to them and who is stuck in the middle? The average Mexican, that is who.

I'm not suggesting you arm every peasant like something out of the Magnificent Seven, I am suggesting you give them the choice.

USA has a bigger homicide rate than the UK does, derp. And in fact, a bigger homicide rate than most of the european countries. Only countries that have a higher homicide rate than the USA are countries that have severe problems (poverty for example). Funny, how USA is head-to-head with the worst offenders out there, even Mexico.

I'll be honest and say I didn't know the definition of 'derp' but having looked it up I'm beginning to realize you are being rather 'snarky' in your response.
*Hence why I referred to your "Mexico's gun law is shit herherher" as drivel.

Of course America has a bigger homicide rate than the UK. I was pointing out that two countries within the EU with the strictest gun control, were home to some of the deadliest massacres in recent history and that Britain is still the most violent country within the EU. I wonder how far Germany is down the line from that.

Ironically the 2nd amendment stems from Magna Carta, except we were stating that citizens could not be prevented from owning or purchasing weapons based on their religious beliefs, by the Monarchy. Perhaps if it had been reviewed and revised at a later date, Britain might have a 2nd amendment right instead of the clusterfuck we have today.
