Not all European Cops carry Firearms and I have seen German Police armed with only Trudgeons do battle with protestors.
Greece is also notorious for large Riots and the Police do very little to anythin about it.

yes, and a nulear warhead is NOT a defensive weapon.
But a nuclear warhead or a biological weapon are just objects
nor are the oleanders in my yard outlawed. (biological weapon)
semantics seldom sway any logical debate.
It's irrelevant whether it's a defensive weapon or not. I was responding to the assertion that these are just "objects" and what matters is the person handling them.
In that sense a nuclear warhead is just an object. And logically we should all be allowed one.
then why did you find it necessary to bring it up ??
Everyone here knows how babies are made whether that be through the physical act of sex or in a lab.
given the need, yes, he has that right.
If he has the capability to kill a person with his hands he has the right
not sure if i should just laugh or actually respond ...
If one is born with the desire to go into a school and shoot 25 young children, then does it mean they were born with the right to do it?
"how were you conceived?"
but i have to ask, if you agree with this sentiment, why would you support more laws ??
Bullies use laws as an excuse to attack and abuse people because they found a legal way to justify it
fine, then start a thread of your own and i'd be happy to participate
My point is to take issue with your extraordinary idea that laws don't circumscribe behaviour at all.
how you arrive at results from either statement must be a statisticians dream come true.
If laws don't deter, prevent or restrict behaviour then that behaviour must have the same prevalence as in a case where no law existed to punish it.
then you aren't trying very hard.
then I just can't see where your logic has fled to.
it could certainly help more than hinder.
So in order to deter any crime we must have more guns?
too extreme to agree.
Laws are useless, guns are not.
actually, the notion that any one nation can 'command' another to be victimized is what is juvenile. (nothing more than a bully on the playground)
the notion that all things are just "inanimate" and therefore anyone can own anything, is juvenile
?? not sure i follow your question.
is there any mention of what comes after the overthrow

who says laws don't prevent anything ??
If you think that laws don't prevent anything then why are you worried about laws against firearm ownership?
