Land of the free...

... free to be executed by thugs and shot by 'police' even when you're only a child:

Quote:
Two marshals in the US state of Louisiana are to be charged with murder after the fatal shooting of a six-year-old boy.

Quote:
Police in Chicago have said that a nine-year-old boy was "executed" because of his father's gang affiliations.

Tyshawn Lee was lured from a park into an alley and shot several times in a crime that police are calling "unfathomable".

The UK's far from perfect but I wouldn't swap my life here for one there for anything.

Re: Land of the free...

I expect there will be riots etc. Oh wait a minute, looking at the pictures, probably not.

Re: Land of the free...

I asked an American if he thinks they should disarm the nation, his response was to instead make sure more people have access to firearms...

It's been proven many times, British and German armed response (Examples) are a far better solution than arming standard and may I add pretty incompetent and in some cases overweight and useless Police Officers. They can't employ the above though until they disarm their nation. I can't believe there's a country that actually allows you to just wander around with a semi-automatic upgraded M16.
Quote:
There are an estimated 2.5-3.7 million rifles from the AR-15 family in civilian use in the United States.
Responses of, only 3 of those go on to commit massacres each year just isn't good enough anymore. Loss of life is exactly that... no matter how many, it shouldn't happen.

It's far too late now though, how do you disarm the US, you just can't anymore, it's impossible. As Gary put, just have to let them get on with it.

Re: Land of the free...

Don't disarm them (it's against the national psyche), just regulate guns like cars.

You should be registered and have insurance, and regular tests - after all, the second amendment says "a well-regulated militia)...

Chicago again. Was there any real need for that?...
