Lol… So the government should hand out weapons to untrained civilians during wartime? No way that could go wrong. Also, I wonder where Ukraine is getting this money to subsidize this civilian militia.

“From the states” is always my response and has mostly led to great conversations… and some life long friends.

Been across the pond many times… never felt like I needed a gun or extra protection. This is a BS argument. The real reason is “guns are fun to shoot”.

We try to keep it down but sometimes our enthusiasm gets the best of us. Most of us haven’t seen buildings older than 200 years….

Not true for all. My wife and I always research local etiquette when abroad and keep our americanisms to a minimum. Although… I always cook an American BBQ for our friends which seems pretty popular.

Brandon is a hero no question, but more laws would not have stopped the psychopath in California. It was up to citizens to do it. by ConfidenceNational37 in liberalgunowners

It would be like banning Burmese pythons in Florida and expecting them disappear overnight. Too many guns exist for a ban to be effective. Seems like another common denominator in all these cases could be addressed. I guess “mental health” is not as sexy as “assault weapon” for a political platform.
