Can we all now start telling them to butt out of our business, as they've told us on guns?
The people who are in your business in America are the same people who are trying to take our guns.. Average Americans just want to be left alone..
I think the EU should be no more. But I'm not in it, so I don't really have a say nor will I tell you guys what to think.

I think you'll find the British were the ones flexing muslces around Europe due to royalty links and empire building. The last war was the game changer showing how severe war had become.
Remember the EEC came about precisely to prevent any more wars..... funnily enough it has worked!
Most of the anti europe sentiment comes from the usual bigotry (humourless nazis , garlic eating frogs, etc) as well as a hefty does of ignorance whipped up by the tabloids.
When the tabloids state "Decision made about abc that prevents us British from selling our abc's in Europe" what they don't tell you is "When the decision was made nobody from Britain could be arsed turning up for the meetings where the decision was made".
You would be astonished at the number of COLLABORATIVE meetings that have occurred to make policy, decide on standards etc etc and the UK representative was absent.
I used to work for a multinational semiconductor firm and we were told by the Japanese car manufacturers that the ONLY reason they set up shop in Britain was because we were in Europe.
Let me guess : look at Norway and how well they do outside of Europe (as UKIP states)......erm well not quite. They are actually fully paid up members of the free trade in Europe. In order to do this they have to contribute to the EEC and implement most European laws and all without a vote ANYWHERE. Hmmmmm The only reason they are not a full member is because the people vote against it in a referendum and yet the voting morons don't realise that thy are effectively members but without a say in policy.....for freaks sake ! Their economy is dependent on EEC trade.
- Worlds largest single market
- Economic zone larger than that of the USA and Japan combined
- Total GDP of around £11 trillion
- 2.75 million jobs were created in the single market between 1992 and 2006. For the UK, the increase in GDP would have been around £25 billion.
- Exports to other EU countries account for 51 per cent of the UK’s exports of goods and services
- 3.5 million jobs in Britain are linked, directly or indirectly, to the UK’s trade with other Member States.
- Foreign direct investment+
- Freedom to travel, live, work, study and retire anywhere in the EU
- Free trade agreement with Japan that will generate about £25 billion in economic benefits for Europe.

To obtain a Firearms or shotgun licence you must pass a background check by the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB), and if you are found to not have a criminal record there are rules concerning the secure and safe storage of weapons, and ammunition, you must also demonstrate that you have a valid reason for use such as a farmer that requires a firearm, or shotgun as a means of vermin control. Ammunition is readily available through liscenced outlets that require you to produce valid documents for purchase.

People need to look at the facts instead of bigotry against Europe. I'm not saying the E.U is perfect, far from it and massive reforms need to happen, but you need solid reason to leave and as it is now, we need Europe.

But that is the probem. The EU will never reform in any meaningful way. It will just get worse as time goes by.
The institution isn't there for the benefit of the people of europe but to economially fleece the population, and help corporations. More regulation kills small business and aids big business. More taxes crucify people financially, and lets not forget the stunningly high direct cost of the unelected EU.
Additionally membership of the EU has caused a massive immigration problem of people from poorer countries coming here and draining the society of wealth. And that doesnt make me a biggot or xenophobe. I'd much prefer it if every single Euroean economic migrant was kicked out and replaced by starving or persecuted Africans.
