Also having the right to bear arms requires a massive leap of faith when it comes to the ability of man. Giving every man the right to bear arms is
assuming that every man is capable of such responsibilty.
If you have that much confidence in the collective responsibilty of humans then so be it. I, however, do not.
If you make a racial comment in Mr.Galloway's Britain, you go to jail - that does not constitute free speach in my book. Hence my comment about not
necessarily agreeing with what you say, but supporting your right to say it.
As for firearms ownership and "trusting" people to own guns. I trust the people far more than I would trust any government, and remember that if it
weren't for people owning guns and standing up to a unjust government, you wouldn't be typing in this forum, because the USA would not exist in its
current form. And which gun hating nation did we happen to overcome to achieve those freedoms, why of course it was the UK ! How ironic n'est ce pa
? There are 2 million legal uses of privately owned firearms in the US each year to defend the life of the owner or their immediate family, 97% do
not result in the discharge of any weapon. Four years ago, the wife of a close friend of ours was one of those people. Would YOU like to tell her
that she can't be trusted to have a gun any longer, and that next time she'll just have to die for the good of society.
You should also understand that all socialists hate the USA, and you can have little doubt that once Mr.Galloway got through munching on his last free
USDA steak and took the last pat on the back from some stupid Congressman, he would have got right back into form criticizing those "stupid, fat, war
loving Americans".
Watching America pander to the likes of Galloway is like watching a child enjoy the attention it is getting from a pedophile.
