And my cousins old school ,who is now a retired judge from garland texas,grandfathers brother was a texas ranger there yrs ago so i am well aware of texas and its history.TOO MANY GUNS.
Was talking to a kid on my site who was 5 yrs in florida(visa ran out) and he was telling us about how the the crime rate went down by 20% since they introduced the new laws about protection but he failed to say as i pointed out to the assembled that the MURDER rate had gone up from 5 per 100 thousand to 8 per thousand with this new law.
Do you think that the founding fathers envisanged ak 47s when they were writing the right to bear arms (which was just in case the brits returned)you are nuts in the head.
America has to move foreward and get rid of a lot of these old laws that are not relevant to-day just like the brits dont have to practice their bow-and -arrow skills which were required by law untill some bright spark noticed it............

Every country in the world has it Achilles heel, including your adopted country . Don't try to convince me that Canada is a perfect place, I have family who have lived there since 1958, but should I sit here and denigrate Canada? Of course not. The majority of Americans are really decent law biding citizens who do not have firearms, don't judge the majority by the minority. And why even drag the British into your argument?you seem like a very angry person Tolka, I can't help wondering what caused that!

obviously madam you miss the point?.....................................laws change.......................it WAS incumbent on all britons to practice their bow and arrow as it was not abolished from the books.
As regards canada versus the u.s.....forget it ..............perfect place? no........but compared to the u.s in most ways no comparison............................you have 9 guns for every 10 people where we have 3 for every 10 people..............stop kidding yourself as you are the most armed people in the world by a mile
I am not angry just a realist..i see lies i react........i see truth i also react........i do not listen to bs and i dont have to tell you that in the words of that great late brain george carlin who said that the only two words you need to know to be succesful in america is .........b........ s. he was telling the sorry truth.

p.s why are we always cited as one of the best countries in the world to live and not the u.s if we are even remotely bad?............cant say much for you guys as you dont make the list.
