you can walk into a gun shop and buy a gun with nothing more than a back ground check .
the problem with the US is the second amendment . you have made it a right to own a firearm when it shouldnt be . it should be a privilege . the same as owning and driving a car is .
but let me go deeper here . The US population (from my point of view ) see’s the gun as a symbol of freedom more than an object of protection and enjoyment .
too me i find that stupid at best that you feel your symbol of freedom in a materialistic object , which hold no real power of its own .
let me explain why i feel this .
with @snejdarek i can clearly see , he knows his guns , he enjoys his guns , he feels safe carrying a gun .
but with you (and basically every american who engages in this debate ), you seem to bring the argument down to the same old “FREEDOM !!!” sort of approach and start screaming versus from the constitution and how its you free patriots versus the evil system .
so you bring the argument away from the actual chunk of metal into a more dynamic debate as if your entire identity as a free nation is tied to being allowed to own a gun , when its not .

So she actually still has power? My god what is wrong with your country. No one should ever inherit power, if what you say is true you don’t live in a democracy.
[/quote] the queen officially holds all power , she is head of state . but she hands over 99% of these powers to parliament and the prime minster .
she holds on to just enough that our unwritten constitution can never be violated . that no dictator could ever take power .
for example the things you complain obama has done in terms of abusing his power , he simply could not do here . as laws require the royal approval to become laws . without her signature they’re not worth the paper they’re written on .
a number of years ago the prime minster attempted to take more powers of declaring war . much like obama has done(or attempting too ) in the US .
here the parliament approved . there was outrage . as there was in the US . so when the bill landed on the queens desk to sign . she screwed it up (not literally ) and threw it in the bin . as it went against our constitution .
so on the quick glance yes she is undemocratic . but if you actually look into it . in many ways she ensures my democracy and freedom

Ive told you time and time again. 90% of the gun crime in the U.S is committed by gangs, with ILLEGAL fire arms. More regulations would literally do nothing to impede them. It would only hurt people like me from obtaining fire arms.
[/quote] and ive told you time and time again the reason illegal guns are so easy to get hold of in the US is because guns are so wide spread .
guns are stolen , then sold of the black market and used to commit crimes . the vast majority of guns used by these gangs were legal at one point or another .
does the Czech republic have a huge black market issue ? does the UK ? does Germany ? does France ? no because they ensure the guns go to the right people .
its far easier for a million guns to disappear out of 300 million guns , than it is for a million guns to disappear out of 5 million

[/quote] in what way would you be impeded from owning a gun ? you claim you’re confident in using a gun safely . so you would have no issue passing an exam of gun safety or a weapons handling test would you ? no one is saying you should have laws as strict as ours but like the cezch republics .
