Hey Swazi Spring, just reminding you that the country is not going to end and that the democrats are doing what they think is best for it. They're going to have a very tough time passing this bill, and even if they do they're likely to lose the next elections and have it be repealed / not renewed. So relax, everything will be fine.
How can you say that ? What's wrong with you ? Suddenly your right to have fun with your guns is worth more than a life ?
See, this is the problem with this debate. The arguments from the pro-gun sides are so ridiculous that they encourage people to have a shouting match instead of an intelligent discussion. Which is not helped by the fact that it's usually resparked by tragic events that do not encourage rational thinking.
Since the vast majority of firearms in the country are never used beyond entertainment, can you really justify the sacrifices that the legislation implies ?
Or maybe you should let the intruder run like he's likely to. If not, he's a madman, in which case you should be able to call for help. Madmen usually don't run in packs. They're also less lethal than the people who own guns when they shouldn't in your country.
There are other ways to defend yourself that don't involve lethal force. Can't you bring the case to justice like civilized people ?
I can provide you with 8523 good reasons a year to limit that freedom.
Nope. However, your country has changed a lot in 230 years. The Wild West is long dead.
