Eye as I take it you think you should be able to have claymore mines, bombs and any other armament that strikes your fancy? |

I'll probably get hung drawn & quartered for this statement, but truth be told, I cannot see any difference between the two. The US & Islamic extremists are equal bedfellows. One wants to take the world back to the 13th century & the other wants to lock its citizens to the 18th century. Both refuse to look to a brighter future. |

As a non-American I would like to know WHY Americans allowed 2 dipsh*ts into such positions of power without having their beliefs in an ancient & outdated parchment rammed down our throats.Well, it's called democracy. Even in Europe dipsh*ts can be elected and sometimes are. But for gun laws there is a difference. I don't think any European country constitution have anything like the US 2'nd amendment. Still to this date everyone have problem to both read and comprehend what is written! Is there a comma or not... |

Get rid of the Standing Army and use the self funded militia's. Yes I know it's a stupid idea, but it is the logical conclusion of some peoples quotes. |

with the arms that were available at the time, how many could be killed, say, in the space of 5 minutes?Has no 'bearing' on the validity of non-infringement. AND there are regulations in place limiting the legal possession of weapons of moderate to mass destruction. These regulations are administered by the BATFE(when not selectively enforced). AND these regulations were put in place to control such 'arms' without touching the 2nd Amendment. Yes, we cling to that "outdated parchment" because it is the Crown Jewel of American Democracy. Get rid of the Standing Army and use the self funded militia's. Works for me..........you'd have too many volunteers to mount. Last estimate 90+ Million.

Eye you concede regulations are necessary, why then are semiautomatic weapons or magazine capacity not regulated? |

Have heard that Rump required his nominee to affirm he had the power to suspend the 2020 election in the interest of national security. |

We have entered the 21st Century. We just don't intend to reject our heritage and basic philosophy of government just because a group or a country dislikes that philosophy. It has served us well for 244 years and will continue to do so if left unmolested by 'modern' 'reformers' both of which are misnomers for those who would undermine America for their own purposes. It's ours, We Did Make That! Contrary to the former re-former in Chief who's damage is thankfully being dismantled brick by brick(and in the process revealing the deceit and lies those bricks have for a foundation). @ Google........have heard of chicken with teeth.

Is the right to free speech doing the USA any good when people in power are allowed to lie openly to justify their actions. I notice that news stories about one of Trump's latest presentations say 76% of his facts were inaccurate or downright lies. On his trip to Europe he is claiming that 60% of the German energy is supplied by Russia, when the facts are 60% of Germany's natural gas is supplied by Russia, but natural gas usage is used in less that 20% of over energy consumption. So an accurate figure would be ~12% of German energy comes from Russia, big difference. |

KUDOS to President Trump for upsetting digestion at the NATO Breakfast this morning. Calling out Germany for expecting the US Taxpayer to continue subsidizing the shortfall in contributions for defense against possible Russian military aggression while they contribute to the wealth of that very foe. The funny part about the Russian pipeline deal is it's uncanny similarity to a certain pipeline into Ukraine...........and what happens to the heat when the 'master' is displeased. Germany apparently learned nothing about being used as a buffer state during the 40 years they spent divided and serving that role. On another note.....Congratulations Mayor of London, for the upcoming Trump balloon during his visit with the Queen......that kinda puts the fairy tale of British reserved decorum in the dust bin......real class.......I'm sure your Queen will be SO proud.

Failure to adapt to changing conditions leads to extinction. Failure to acknowledge evolution exists also leads to extinction. |

Failure to adapt to changing conditions leads to extinction. .........says the faction that still clings to the Medieval systems of Kings, Queens, Dukes and Duchesses, Titled Nobility and Commoners. Of Government telling the people whats good for them and how best to live. I think the stagnation of evolution is more apparent in GB and EU than in the country that rejected that way of looking at it's citizens 2 centuries ago and made the decision that The People tell the Government what's good for them and to butt out on how we live our lives.
