British Veteran Jailed
« on: November 11, 2012, 06:47:18 PM »
British veteran will be in jail for 18 months for illegally possessing a glock pistol he got from Iraq.  What kind of country would treat it's veterans so poorly?

Study after study has shown how dangerous distracted driving is yet people continue to talk on their cell phones while driving. Driving in the U.S. requires your full attention. Many states and countries have made it illegal to use a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle and the federal government should follow their lead. Banning the use of cell phones while driving would have the added benefit of making the no-texting law enforceable.

Socialism has nothing to do with gun control.  That is Bain Capital executive rhetoric.

Private enterprise is to blame for their Orwellian quest to monitor all British school children for the sole purpose of making one company a profit.  It is not to protect children.  No guns, heavy monitoring of every person.  Sounds like a horror story on that topic also.

Since socialism is government takeover of everything in the private sector...I would have to say that includes owning guns. And land, and businesses, and money, and all basic liberties. Guns are outlawed by governments mostly so they can't be taken over by their own people when they become to large and under their own control, instead of the people's control.
And if your talking Brittan...they have a long history of trying to take over lots of people and places, including this place we live in...they also wanted to control guns here at one time and tax us. We whipped them and sent them home, with a very small amount of patriots.  Then we formed a republic.
Section 4.
 The United States shall guarantee to every State in  this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of  them against Invasion;

It seems socialism wrecks a lot of things when it gets out of hand. Including guns, sooner or later.  I notice the states with the most socialism do not let their citizens carry guns...in some cases, they can't own guns at all.  I do not think this is odd that the states taken over by progressive socialism are all this way, it's not just bad luck.
