The right to bear arms is not bollocks at all.

Not everyone lives in a major city and can rely on the Police turning up in < 5 mins. Many Americans live miles from local law enforcement where they could wait upto 30 mins for help to arrive. If your in the middle of a home invasion then you need to be able to protect yourself, family and property. And dont forget some people live near to some prettry wild animals being Bears and Wolves.

For many reasons Biden and all other presidents will always fail to dissarm its citizens, mainly because the horse has already bolted. There is no firearm registry, so nobody knows who has what or how many. Asking people to just hand them over would never work in countries where each firearm is not listed, some being USA, Canada, Austria and New Zealand.

If you take the UK then from personal experience getting a shotgun is a piece of piss unless your known to the police for the wrong reasons, have mental health problems or spent x years in prison.

Most households assume their neighbours are armed in rural America, deterring all but the most determined criminals.

Guns are a great leveller and great for crime prevention. Should have the same rights here.

25,000 troops in DC under Trumps order. Why? To protect Biden or to protect Trump. Trump hasn't conceded, will Biden keep his promise and have Trump pulled from the Whitehouse? One thing is for certain (imo) this is the best real time movie ever... the whole world is watching & everyone is talking about the plot.

It can be easy for us Europeans to overlook just how recently the 'Wild West' was really wild and lawless - but to put it into perspective we were installing telephones and record players, enjoying Swan Lake etc at the same time as Bill Hickock was getting shot in Deadwood, Custer was making his last stand and Wyatt Earp was getting sworn in.

Yes but on a much smaller scale using a single drone. "Inside the drone attack that nearly killed a world leader"

Chatter on "Gab" and "The Donald" is urging its following not to do anything on inauguration day as its a setup by authorities.

"Instead they should wait until things have died down, security is less restrictive and a sense of normality has resumed. In the meantime makesure you are using the maximum encryption. Remember, they have to be right all of the time but we only need to be right once"

Lets hope the secret service is on the ball for the next 4 years.

Something very serious it seems is being anticipated, Biden is hosting a virtual inauguration apparently so it leads my mind to wonder (doesn't take much) what the hell is going on.

There is a guy on youtube who is from the US & ex military (he says) who tracks activity in the sky through flight radar apps & last night there were loads of C13s in and out of DC, military aren't there for show, only thing they don't seem to have on the streets of DC right now are tanks.

The Secret Service obviously think there is a very real threat to the new president. They are fully responsible for his security so it will have been them who advised a virtual inauguartion. It basically means they cant gaurantee his safety. Which is rather shocking!!

There was historical precedent in beginning of the 20th century. Left radicals (known as "bolsheviks" or "commies") ordered russians to give away all their weapons - years of terror and almos hundred years of political slavery (and literal slavery in the darkest times) as result!

Pretty sure the inauguration will go ahead as planned. Anything less would be giving in to these nutjobs and would just embolden them further.

How are you today James? I was a bit worried about you last night when you started quoting the bible, all good?
