Re: 'Merica, FUCK YEAH!!!

Plenty of people have a handgun when they are walking and penty of people have a handgun in their car. Especially in cities where carjacking is an issue. Obviously in their home too.

Last year a woman was jogging in a park when approached by two men who made their intentions clear. She pulled a gun and they took off.

Why should I be defenseless? Why not allow me to have a fighting chance? Fuck that.

Re: 'Merica, FUCK YEAH!!!

That jogging woman is 1% of 100%. The others of 99% are on the psychological rehabilitation for rape victims or dead. It's curious because all these carrying gun rambos won't pull up a gun, won't toggle a safety, won't charge and won't shoot in case of real mess. There is a huge difference between shooting empty bottles and this. At its best, you will wound your right foot in the heat than help yourself. smile

Re: 'Merica, FUCK YEAH!!!

I'm sure 200,000k per year are all thankful. IF I would ever going to be a statistic related to such assaults I want to be part of that one.

Re: 'Merica, FUCK YEAH!!!

Well, USA is first in the rape rating with 88.8 guns per 100 residents. The risk of being raped in USA is even higher than in Zimbabwe. Fuck, 102.35 murders per one million residents in Russia with only 8.9 guns per 100 residents against only 42.01 murders in USA. No rapes in Liechtenstein and only one murder. By the way, what do we know about Liechtenstein?

Re: 'Merica, FUCK YEAH!!!

USA is first in reported rapes but not rating. We'll have more of many things by actual number since we have like 340mil people. The worst country is South Africa. I read somewhere like 30% of all women have been raped.

Many countries have many under reported rape numbers, especially African and Middle-East countries and China. That site mentions this for rape stats: "Figures do not take into account rape incidents that go unreported to the police."

per Wikipedia:

62 square miles, 37,000 population

The Liechtenstein National Police is responsible for keeping order within the country. It consists of 87 field officers and 38 civilian staff, totaling 125 employees. All officers are equipped with small arms. The country has one of the world's lowest crime rates. Liechtenstein's prison holds few, if any, inmates, and those with sentences over two years are transferred to Austrian jurisdiction

Economically, Liechtenstein has the highest gross domestic product per person in the world when adjusted by purchasing power parity.[8] It is also the 2nd richest (by measure of GDP per capita) country in the world, after Qatar, and has one of the lowest unemployment rates at 1.5%.

The literacy rate of Liechtenstein is 100%.[

Yeah, they have lots of little indoor shooting galleries all around the tourist district.  You can literally go in off the street, pay $25 and start shooting.  I chose the $55 package where I fired three guns.  I've never fired a handgun before but apparently I am a good shot!  So from now on I'm changing to pistol on BF.

I was actual for the times of Wild West and civil war. Nowadays those who think the government is not legitimate and ask the others to bring weapons to riot are already in Guantanamo. smile

Winston Smith isn't too hard to kill.  I kill him everytime he's playing.  Although come to think about it, he kills me fairly often too.

I'd like to watch you beating Winston.  Will it be behind the orange wheelbarrow on Battle of the Bulge or on Bocage?  Should I bring a camera?

Re: 'Merica, FUCK YEAH!!!

The problem is not how many guns.

The U.S. murder rate is 5 in 100,000, which is bad, but I know how to lower it immediately. Stop illegal immigration and close the southern boarder with Mexico. My conclusion is based on simple analysis of government crime statistics.

2011 Government Accounting Office GAO report (GAO-11-187, Criminal Alien Statistics, March 2011).

“The number of criminal aliens in federal prisons in fiscal year 2010 was about 55,000, and the number of State Criminal Alien Assistance Program criminal alien incarcerations in state prison systems and local jails was about 296,000 in fiscal year 2009 (the most recent data available), and the majority were from Mexico.”

Criminal aliens represented 25% of the federal prison population in 2009. The criminal alien federal prison population is almost 39% in 2013. Fiscal year 2009 the GAO reported 10.8 million aliens without lawful immigration status. Since the population of the U.S. was about 306.8 million in 2009, illegal aliens represent about 3.52% of the population.

According to the GAO and the U.S. Sentencing Commission on federal convictions of criminal aliens from fiscal years 2003 through 2009 criminal aliens were arrested, convicted and incarcerated for 25,064 homicides.

Per the FBI, there were 115,717 homicides from 2003 through 2009. Criminal aliens commit 22 percent of all murders in the U.S., while being only 3.52% of the population. From 2003 through 2009 criminal aliens averaged 6266 homicides a year for a murder rate of 58 per 100,000. That is 17 murders a day.

The overall US murder rate drops to 3.4 per 100,000 during the period 2003 through 2009 when criminal aliens are factor out of the murder rate. Murder rates in the US are not determined by how many lawful guns per person are in the US, it is determined by how many criminal aliens are allowed over the boarder. Remember, not all of these homicides are by firearms.

Re: 'Merica, FUCK YEAH!!!

Good info Janet....of course it's much more involved than that...but I never argue gun control or crime stats with anyone from other countries, especially those that have no real individual rights.....like the ability to own a military caliber weapon.
 
The USA is full of other countries "waste" products that have no regard for the laws and are not certainly not vested in this country's future.
It's complemented by some of the smartest and good people too...but the bad always get the publicity.

The right to bear arms has nothing to do with personal protection...that right is inherent for every law abiding and even non-law abiding citizens in the country.  The right to bear arms was specifically written to resist a tyrannical government with like firepower.  Period.

Same things here but with no such amount of guns.

Re: 'Merica, FUCK YEAH!!!

Without researching it to the same extent as you have Janet I would say it is the very much the same here in the UK but we are a lot more accommodating and civilised about it.

Here's a thing :

The cleric that is strongly in the frame for the planning of the recent beach massacre in Tunisia lives in a large house with his family near London.  The rent for the house is paid for by the state and on top of this he is paid more than I am yearly in benefits and disability pay outs again all funded by the state, or in other words by us the tax payers.  To put it bluntly we are paying to have our own citizens gunned down while on holiday by a radical madman in the name of religion, you think you got problems!!!!

Re: 'Merica, FUCK YEAH!!!

Dink I feel your pain,

The Polish Army and allied forces of the Holy Roman Empire lifted the siege of Vienna September 11, 1683. The Polish Cavalry routed the Ottoman Turks and began a push back in the centuries old Jihad which had been contained until recently.

Serge Trifkovic, a noted Islam scholar said:

       "What global Jihad has on its side is simple minded commitment of millions of people to not only spread the faith but also better themselves at the expense of the infidel in the first instance through immigration and later on if necessary by other means."

I’m not surprised the government is propping up that bastard while he is undermining your country. As far as taxes, get ready for a new Jizya tax coming to Western European countries soon in Dhimmitude to your new Muslim overlords.

      "Dhimmitude: the status of Christians and Jews with limited rights living in a society dominated or controlled by Muslims, the Christians and Jews are treated like second class citizens, dhimmis are protected from physical abuse as long as they pay an extra Jizya tax."

All of Europe is committing suicide by active historic negation according to Anders Behring Breivik, a famous Norwegian mass murderer, and is surrendering to the Muslims. I guess I will pop over to the local Wal-mart and pick up some more ammo.
