Considering the fact that most children are shot with weapons being used by people who are committing an illegal act (other than the actual murder), I would say that many laws are simply broken in the commission if the crime. Whether they’re strict enough to stop offenders is certainly a reasonable question, but “enabling” they are not.

I suppose what I was trying to say is that in a country where guns can be lawfully owned by the majority of people who want one, there is likely to be a lot of death by gunshot. Therefore the constitution enables this scenario.

Around 65% of US childhood firearms death are by homicide, but many are due to accident and suicide as a result of being able to access legally owned weapons in the family home.

And there’s states hell bent on removing as many regulation and barriers to people owning guns as possible. Yes, fuck any background check, buy as many guns as you can carry.

It was somewhat of a rhetorical question for Dax.

They were only introduced in 2023 because Christian extremists decided to target clinics.

I remember years ago when I worked at BAe Woodford, my cycle commute took me through Hazel Grove, there was a clinic on the way which would often have a bunch of nut jobs waiting to harass the poor women who had to run the gauntlet. I would regularly shout abuse at the nut jobs knowing I was faster on my bike than they were on foot ;)
 
Now the US can be classed as a rogue dictator state, i will be spending my holiday money on other countries.
I've spent £55k in the last 5 years holidaying in the US. I've decided that Canada will be getting that money now.
Where's good to visit? Not just the touristy stuff, but genuinely interesting places.
I'm a keen fisherman and skier, so fishing and winter sports will definately be on the agenda.
Is that winter train thing worth the money?

Because not therefore. The constitution allowed people to bear arms for forming a well-regulated militia. For freedom.
 
I knew it was going to be bad but it’s getting silly now, I can’t believe in less than one month whats happened to the world, Europe must treat the USA the same as Russia and china now, I’d be pulling back sharing any intelligence with them etc and treat them as a threat to national security. Amazingly it’s 80 years since the end of WW2 this year those boys must be turning in their graves at sacrificing themselves for this twat.
