As for my understanding, in the US, you can even "protect" your property with guns. ......GOD!......I LOVE this Country!...... Actually it's called 'Castle Doctrine' and is only applicable inside your residence or personal transportation, IF there is a reasonable fear of violence against you or your loved ones(varies from State to State, as do all local laws). Here at Interior, we work every day to protect our nation’s special places so current and future generations can experience our natural and cultural treasures for years to come. With more than 400 national parks, 560 national wildlife refuges and nearly 250 million acres of other public lands managed by Interior, there’s at least one public land near you.Seems like lots of space to 'roam' is available for every one with the urge. And that's not counting State Parks and Lands and Local Wildlife Refuges. "Give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above, don't fence me in....." "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

You in the US doesn't seem have the same FREEDOM as you call it that we have. But we can use guns to kill animals like elks or moose that Americans like to call them. Here we call them Älgar and it's hunting season right now together with wild boars and deers. Humans are not a prey though. |

You in the US doesn't seem have the same FREEDOM as you call it that we have. Another reason for the 2nd Amendment is to give our citizens a means to prevent them from becoming 'prey'. And wild Boar, Javelina, and feral hogs are pretty much in season year round here due to the damage they do to the environment. "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

JE, you are either a more successful prognosticator than those you mentioned in the Donald Trump thread, or read this story before posting. I note that this one was a few hours earlier, and they both use the phrase "level the playing field". |
