Just the way we roll.


Yikes! I really noticed the fact that Many Americans carry guns when I was living there. And the fact that they are so blaise about it. As a Canadian it was a real culture shock. uh oh

Look, our country is not very old. When those brave people got on those boats and crossed the ocean to get here, we didn't have any laws in place. No policemen, firefighters, constitution, laws, NOTHING. We learned to carry guns, mostly for food and also for protection. It's the way we have been raised for generations.
It's doesn't make us bad, we had too. Believe you me, we have respect for those guns too, unlike the thug on the street.

You're preaching to the Unconvertables!

They believe the State will always be there to hold their Little Hand!conversing

SummerUK: I dont think for one moment that everyone in the UK thinks Everyone in the states walks around with guns tucked in their trousers. We're really not that stupid and just because you can't see them doesn't mean they don't have one.

I had a couple of extremely horrible, very traumatic moments in the states which were actually Gun related. You can't deny that some people do hide them on their person.

However, after spending a lot of my time in very remote areas of the south, I would definately have a gun even just to keep safe from the wild animals. I would even go so far as to say it would be very silly not to own a gun for your own protection.

Thats what I meant when I said I had changed my opinion of people owning guns there
Summer, I don't for a minute, think people from the UK are stupid, and it's true a person could be carrying a gun where it can't be easily seen. I was just wondering what your observation was coming here for the first time seeing as America has such a strong image as a bunch of gun toting whackos to a lot of the world. I tried to frame the question as benign as possible explaining I was just curious and even put a friendly wave in there.

I'm sorry you had some bad experiences here, maybe you were unknowingly somewhere you shouldn't have been.

Anywho, I'm glad for the good times you had and I hope you can come back again one day.wine

I never called you bad? But the fact that people years ago needed guns for protection and food does not mean you should carry them today.
There was a time when every country had no police force, firefighters, laws. I just think that the fact you have a police force and laws probably means you should not be carrying guns on the streets.

What? 1% of the population is in Prison. How is stating that Anti American? I believe just beacuse something was written into their constitution 285 years ago does not mean it is right for Todays America. I am sure when their founding fathers thought of the right to bear arms they could not have foreseen the society America would be today.

I think that link is a bit misleading Dodge.

I mean there are crimes and there are crimes.

Meaningless statistics maybe?
