No your getting a skewed sample. If most Americans wanted automatic weapons to be generally available, our laws would provide for them. They don't.
Absolutely false.....they do.

This is one of the most racist statements I have read in a while. Jimmy the Greek got fired for a very similar statement.

Guns are tools designed to kill and not to defend yourself.
Aikido for example is a martial arts philosophy only intended to defend oneself.
Unlike the other martial arts forms you cannot attack with Aikido, simply because it is designed to use the opponent's force against him. Initiating the physical attack defeats the whole purpose of Aikido.
When it comes to guns it all is about initiating the attack; if you react too late a gun will be completely useless.

Americans only die for American causes.
I doubt the American government would allow this to happen if it they did not believe that it was not in the best interest of the American people. At least I hope this would be the case.

Actually, the ONLY penal colony designed as such was the colony of Georgia. Most Americans were NOT criminals...but they did do things considered immoral by today's standards.

Tricky D you need to stop posting here untill you have sone kind of background on what you are saying. You have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to guns or America although you have admitted you have never been here, yet you try to sound like an expert.Guns cannot be used to defend yourself? This is such a ridiculous statement I don't know how to respond! Guns are all about initiating the attack? OMG! you really need to educate yourself because you sound more and more ridiculous with every post.
Yeah, Americans only die for American causes like our soldiers died to defent Europe? YOUR people? You really are angering me with that one!! I need to block you or I'll wind up saying what I really feel toward you and get myself banned from here. Get an education and a life!
