Maybe Donald will be off to Russia on 19th January 2021 and be under the protection of Putin. :o

Prompted by a question on Twitter I thought I'd check out the mortality rates by age.

Americans have very short memories. Every time there's a mass shooting people are in tears and talking about taking steps to ensure it doesn't happen again, without going so far as to place any restriction on gun-owning whatsoever. Two days later it's pretty much forgotten!

On another subject, Daily Mail headline: Fired election security chief Chris Krebs calls Giuliani's press conference ' the most dangerous 1hr 45 minutes of television in American history. And possibly the craziest'

What!!! You mean there was an hour and three-quarters of it??? I'm now wondering what I'm missing. :lol: :lol:

Its true - and the mainstream reporting of it was limited to a clumsy My Cousin Vinny joke and running hair dye.

Has anyone questioned whether he's got Covid-19? The way he was sweating and constantly wiping his brow - he didn't look too well!

1. Clinton brought in some good gun controls. :)
2. Bush reversed most of what Clinton did. :(
3. Obama tried several times but failed. :(
4. Trump didn't really do anything. no pun intended. :lol:

70 million Americans at least are concerned with what he had to say, be it nonsense or not & when the msm come away with what was a somewhat predictable story you have to ask are they trying to piss off these people because I reckon its working, they're driving them into the depths of the dark internet conspiracy realms and its a breading ground for radicals to exploit. All they have to do is cover it responsibly and then counter with why they think he's bat shit crazy... its not hard.

Why are British people so concerned with gun controls in America? It's got nothing to do with you!

I wish we had the right to bear arms in the UK.

When the shtf in America at least people will have a chance to defend themselves.

The only people who have guns here are criminals and the state, and I don't trust either.

Not true SuperFrank.

I have a 12G pump action Benelli Shotgun and .270 Browning Rifle. Both legally held. But I did have to hand in my 9mm Beretta pistol in 1997 due to the muppet Tony Blair.

Most houses in the UK have weapons dont they? I hear stories about woman and their bullet thing all the time... I've never seen one but they must exist.

Most households in the world (if not every) have weapons.
Killing someone with a gun is easy. A twitch of the finger.
I must say I also have a deep dislike of the concept that guns are sexy, cool and desirable.
They aren't. At best they are tools of the trade. Thieves, armed police, soldiers, game-keepers, farmers, professional cullers. Who the hell else needs a gun? I worked with 2 guys that had guns. One came into work with it after a dispute with management. The other at a party he hosted took one out of its cabinet, put it in his mouth and pulled the trigger. To prove how diligent he was about owning his guns.
