All joking aside you are totally right.
Americans against gun laws is interesting, foreigners against American gun laws should be disregarded as they are ineligible to hold this conversation.

As a Brit member I'm intregued by the whole US gun bearing issue, I don't know anyone who own's a gun and my guess is that 99% of brits don't want to own firearms.
The questions i would like answered are:
When is it legal to fire a weapon with intent to kill?
Can you fire at someone for illegally entering a property?
Is there any control over the storage of guns and ammo?

Sacred? Your sounding religious. The right to bear arms was surely for a time when you had no police force. It was a different world to the world we live in today when the ammendment was created. Abolishing or licensing gun ownership would be very difficult because of the pseudo religious attachment someamericans have for them. If not so many people died in the USA by the gun (20,000+ per anum) it wouldn't be such a big deal keeping guns.
So please get in the 21st century.

You don't want to see or experience what will happen if the Armed American Citizenry all showed up packing heat in a peaceful yet very armed demand for restoration of the constitution, law and accountability. It would be a civil war. Those in power will never voluntarily give it up. Freedom and the lawful exercise of it, must be taken back, and vigilantly guarded.
So under what conditions do American's decide to do something and exercise the rights they continually huff puff and rub in the rest of the world's faces?
I would really like to know because that is all I see on these forums, and dare anybody quesiton America and Americans.
So, what is the conditions that action is taken?

Labeling something 'religious' to draw an emotional/political resentment isn't going to work on anyone comfortable in their own skin. But if the pseudo religious attachment some Americans have for guns is a religion, consider me the pope, because gun ownership is an economical question, not a political question. So, while you may attack guns on political progress grounds.....

Just askin because every day on this forum I hear Americans huff puff hot air and smoke blowing declaring their rights, but I have yet to see them exercised.

Well, I disagree. But that aside, what is our hedge against governmental tyranny? I know the Americans haven't exactly been using their guns to keep government in order, but they always have that option and will probably be exercising it before long. What do we do? Vote?
