I guess we learned well from the Brits, although we never came remotely close - you know, like we didn't get a chance to colonize Africa, Asia, Australia, the Middle East, etc.

we're already known as warmongers, while Europeans of today are supposedly pacifists - a continent that hosted both world wars and has more blood in it's soil than any other.

In Amsterdam last week a woman was shot dead in the middle of the day, in the street... shot as in shot with a gun!

Holland doesn't allow guns! Oops how did she get killed with a gun if that is the law over there!

The Netherland's firearm-related homicide rate is .29/100,000 versus America's 3.43/100,000. Thanks for proving the point that gun control works.

Got a link to that Amsterdam murder?

how can there be any firearm homicides in a country that has a ban on firearms?

Guns are not banned in the Netherlands. That's how.

And Canada, too, where they had their own nightclub shooting in January (no, not the recent doctor's office stabbing in which one person died).Thankfully, club staff tackled him. Only one of the three is in custody, though. And there was another shooting in Calgary recently. By the time cops arrived, the perp was seen "running away while holding a gun." Neighbors are upset because they haven't caught him yet, either. Oh my. No wonder they're upset. When.guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns.

Wake up, sheeple.
