Crime rates are also much lower in Canada and Japan, so it seems that your millions of guns are not effective at preventing crime at all.
Gun deaths from legitimate firearm owners is around 1%, and most are suicides.

Compare if you dare:

Don't get your jewels jangled in Canada for merely wanting to take a flight to other parts of the world unless of course we're flying into Amurika the scared. We were one of the first to experience a terrorist attack on our planes, you cowering wimps! Ooopsy; Feel Good law?

Don't lose our rights to travel freely on our highways either, with a TSA (Temerity and Strength Abdication) squad pulling us over without cause to search our vehicle on a highway, you snivelling sucks. yet another Feel Good law

Don't have legislation enacted to abrogate our civil liberties with indefinite detention possible with no recourse to habias-courpus or Mirandha rights because my neighbour reported me to your Homeland Security retards for having one too many propane tanks in my back yard. Oh my; those Feel Good laws just keep right on coming don't they?

Don't have a grandmother on welfare who taught her daughter the concept of "birth another for some butter"."I got's me nine kids; someone's gotta do someting for me"!
Nanny looks after her and 3 more generations.

Can't afford a house mortgage? No problem Frank-en-Dodd Nannies will look after that for ya and take the worlds economy into the dumper in the process!

Uuuuh; "If people from other countries would stay out of USA politics" You have got to be chitting us!!
This from a citizen of a country that has fomented more rebellions, installed more dictators,Shah's and puppets, assassinated more leaders, invaded more countries for purely economic or political reasons than virtually every other nation on earth!

Are you actually as mentally challenged as you're appearing to be with this post? Too late; you're already infected! We'll treat that for ya.
Well, I know what you're saying, but let's see what the knee jerk reaction is when some radical terrorist's drop 2 skyscrapers in one of your major cities? The patriot act was another way for big brother to grab more power, and you think we should give up our guns?

Uuuh; you have over 350 million down there now with more being born every second in Dearborn Mi. Cesspool; haaar, that's rich almost up there with that idiotic "other countries shouldn't interfere in your politicis" uuufduh from your other post.

Agree with you wholeheartedly on the polarization of your political structure crippling both your developmental growth and your common sense.

Queenie at least isn't ass kissing Soros or the Koch brothers but then you already know that don't you?

Keeping retarded, self serving inbreds, ceremonious in nature with little power or influence has served us well whereas you've got Pelosi, Reid, Franks, Dodd, Lieberman, McCain, etc., ety..

Care to have another go?
For someone who seems to hate th U.S., you sure seem to have a lot of interest in our political system.

"Well, I know what you're saying, but let's see what the knee jerk reaction is when some radical terrorist's drop 2 skyscrapers in one of your major cities? The patriot act was another way for big brother to grab more power, and you think we should give up our guns?"

We were one of the first countries to have planes blown up and our reaction was knee jerk to the extent of installing metal detectos and x-ray machines in our airports. We also welcomed all those threatening jetliners you folks closed your airspace to without you knowing if they were a threat to you, if they had enough fuel to divert or even how many addtional U.S. citizens would die if they ran out of fuel before being able to land safely elsewhere.

How does all of the sham touchy-feely TSA phony stuff protect you from a recurrance? They were "box cutters" for cry'n out loud. A For someone who seems to hate th U.S., you sure seem to have a lot of interest in our political system.sharpened tooth brush is equally as dangerous.

Have you read the thread? The poster referring to Kanada with a "K" shouldn't have ellicited a negative response? You don't live in a country immune from discord strife and stupidity as do none of the rest of us.

This poster doesn't hate your country, I own property down there and spend half of each year there spending a whack of cash while enjoying it.

The posters on this board are NOT representative of the wonderful U.S. folks I meet and spend considerable time with. They consider before speaking ill of any country when in a face-to-face dialogue as most considerate folks do.

These boards do NOT lend themselves to respectful discourse. They indeed, bring out the worst in us.

I never said I agreed with the final reaction to terrorism, we may have been better of not doing anything and just going after the terrorists (bin ladin and co) instead of installing a false sense of security that is the TSA.
