Well , you can come and Personally try to take mine away from me , but you may not make it off my property Alive . Sounds like you would be happier living in a Hell Hole like Europe or North Korea .

Because criminals will always obey the law. Cold dead fingers and all that noise to the side, the day we start dismantling the fundamentals this country was founded on, the day this country starts to collapse. Fear is the greatest motivator to give up rights. Scare the population and they give up their rights willingly. If you ban guns, what's next? Bleach and ammonia? Fertilizer? Rail guns? Knives? In a crowded area, a Molotov cocktail can do as much if not more damage to people then a gun can.

In my 2 years so far living in Germany I would say Europe is no different than the US as far as safety, knowing where and when not to be is much more important than the laws that are passed.

I've been several places in the states and over here where if you chat up the cops they will be free with info... about how certain crimes in certain places are not reported because that would be bad for business.
And I never said I feel... so don't put words in my mouth please; its called observing your surroundings and being aware of how things are done.
Also regular briefings given by the military about security concerns are a big assist as well...

Repeal of the second amendment. that is a joke.
You then have to get the guns from everyone.
Will never happen as most gun owners are more likely to bury there guns then turn them in.
The 5th Amendment covers your right to not open your mouth and incriminate your self.
When they come to your door and ask for your guns you just take the 5th.
They can't arrest every gun owner in the US because it would crash the economy, they do not have the jail cells and there is no way you would find a jury of 12 without some one that believes in the constitution and would vote not guilty.
They banned machine guns in the 1930s.
But on dec 7 1941 after the attack on Pearl Harbor they ask for volunteers to help man the beaches in Hawaii
a number of people showed up with machine guns to man the beaches.
In the EU there are still WW2 machine guns being found under homes where they were buried after the Germans lost them at the end of WW2.
So your happy to hide behind Amendments and laws if you agree with them, but as soon as they might change you'd go straight to being happy doing something illegal?
6. It seriously scares me what will happen to the world the next time a Stalin or Hitler emerge...

I'd say its an uneducated and borderline racist opinion.
Maybe you should check the stats rather than going with your gut.
