You don't even know if your government will allow you the freedom to
own a firearm or not? Wow... No wonder the military didn't need you.


A criminal, or someone intent upon fould play will be well aware of the
fact that most people are unarmed and thus be more confident of success.


So why do we have a rather low crime rate?


You live in a country full of whimpish people happy with the morsels
provided... hell I don't know.... since you won't tell me what country
you live in what other response can I make?

No, that's why we are currently buying Eurofighters (completely different

Iran is building up its military quite a bit also... so is North Korea.
So what?
