Huh?
The USA gummint tried it on with alcohol too, and failed, and now ganja,...it won't work unless there's a consensus , where the people agree to a shared value.
Tightening up on gun carriage, storage, presentation, etc laws would see a lot of guns put away safely (not all, by a long shot), but out of sight, out of mind.
It'll take a couple of generations before US gun ownership is reduced dramatically, if at all IMO.
Merka's a big country, a bureaucrat's nightmare.

I'm an expert? Well, thank you - perhaps compared to you I amOriginally Posted by rickschoppers
No, just informed, unlike some here who are simply very, very blinkered.Originally Posted by rickschoppers
You see Rick, not everyone needs to be a born and bred anything to have superior knowledge about something as simple - or simple-minded - as this obscene fascination with guns.
I've lived a good many years in the US, from elementary school all the way to postgrad and then work . . . and have met enough guys with clappers on like you to have a valid opinion - at least, very least, as valid as yours
Funny isn't it, America goes round the world interfering in other countries affairs, telling them what to do, helping overthrow democratically elected governments etc. but they do seem to be a bit touchy when others give them suggestions about their own fuked up country.
Ocker, if you lived in the US as you claim, how could you be so ignorant about citizen rights and the general gun ownership attitude? Where did you live, Disneyland? You obviously learned nothing about US culture and popular opinion.
For one who supposedly spent so much time in America, you show very little understanding of what it means to be American.

Nothing supposed about it - why not just accept that your opinion or character is not like every other one of your countrymen/women's.
A good many, I'll agree . . . but then I wouldn't have spent any time with people like you when there are too many professional, educated, unblinkered ones around
Oh, almost forgot:
(There that should give it more credibility)
Ocker, so sorry to smash your opinion of me, but educated yes, with over 34 years as a registered pharmacist. Most of those years I was in management, so my opinion must have been accepted by other professionals. So that answers your claim that I am not a professional.
You do appear to be the blinkered one since you still do not show any understanding of gun ownership in America. Your narrowminded stance that all Americans just go around shooting at everything they see is pure bunk. Since America does have over 320 million citizens and since firearms are allowed, there will always be some gun violence, but this represents a very small percentage and is over publicized since this is what sells in the news world.
So get over yourself Ocker and try looking at reality in American rather than spouting shit like some uninformed anti-gun twerp.

Save your Sooooooeeeeeee ramblings about Merkinism for those uneducated among your ilk
Keep justifying countless deaths directly related to guns, this is what separates people like you from those who have a semblance of intelligence. . . well, and Boon Mee!

Just keep demonstrating your low IQ Ocker, it suits you.
This guy was a Pharmacist and gun lover too!
Oklahoma City Pharmacy Shooting
His 2nd amendment rights got him life!
Did you even bother to read the article Necron? There were thousands who signed a petition to right this wrong of convicting the pharmacist.
The conviction was also appealed with good grounds to overturn things, but the judge who presided was the one who convicted in the first place and no judge will ever overturn his own conviction. The only thing this proves proves is how messed up the judicial system is in the US.
Your attempt to show gun ownership is wrong in the US is extremely weak Necron, so keep on a trollen.
^That's not "messed up," going back and shooting the unconscious robber five times is far in excess of self-defense, as is chasing the other robber outside and firing off two shots (that's how bystanders get hit). The robbers are/were no doubt useless pieces of shit that the world won't miss, but the pharmacist sounds like a psycho. Just because you've put someone down in self-defense doesn't mean you get to execute them.
“You can lead a horticulture but you can’t make her think.” Dorothy Parker
I said the US judicial system is messed up, not the shooting. Why would thousands of citizens sign a petition to right this wrong if the pharmacist was a nut job like you claim?
You still havent answered my questions about the petition, or do you not agree with thousands of other American citizens?
Err... law isn't decided by what "thousands" of Americans sign on a petition.
You have an elected upper and lower house who make law and an independent judiciary who adjudicate it.
I thought at the time. that based on the castle doctrine he cpuld have gotten off, but his lawyer wasn't up to the task.
Thankfully.
No, but public opinion does play a role in deciding whether a wrong has been committed. Do you really think lawmakers are the end all when it comes to right or wrong? If so, you are dumber than I thought.
I will say it again Necron since you have such a short attention span. I thought you said you followed this case closely.
READ THE ARTICLE ON THE VIDEO YOU POSTED.
Got it?
By the way. This story really doesnt seem to be a current affair since the charges were lodged in 2009 and the conviction came 2 years,later. Do try to use more current articles in the future Necron.

Putting 5 rounds into a disabled threat is murder. Doesn't matter how many people say the nigger kid thief deserved to die, it wasn't his job to stop, reload and execute him....
But a "well regulated Militia" might require than at some stage....
Thousands signed a petition saying, please help us right this wrong.
You really are a dimwit Necron.
