Self defense is the best reason to own a gun.
Ah, the usual cut and paste drivel 2Aguy resorts to when he's lost the argument. Finds an article from 2004 that fits his world view and we're off to the races. These articles make national headlines because they are the exceptions that prove the rule. Burglaries have declined year on year in the Uk as more and more people adopt effective security measures. Mesures that don't require firearms. Firearms are for narcissists, it seems.
Finland has had 5 shootings in 30 years, how many has America had in that same time frame?
ROFL! This statement is beyond naive! Firstly, Europe can probably defend itself quite well on its own, thank you. NATO should have disbanded when the Soviet Union collapsed, but was kept in being by America as vital to it's national interests. America needs to be in Europe to influence events to protect itself. Europe is nothing more than a buffer zone for America, which is why all attempts at creating a pan European Army, navy and airforce have foundered over the decades, vetoed by America in favour of NATO
National defense counts as a valid reason for privately owning semi-auto rifles with 30 round magazines in Finland.
Finland allows some gun collectors to own machine guns.
Then why are they so eager for our new tactical nukes to start being deployed in Europe?
Having Europe remain democratic is indeed in our national interest.
It is the exact opposite. We are the buffer zone for Europe's protection. We are risking nuclear annihilation by providing Europe with a nuclear deterrent.
How has he lost an argument? Can you point out any untrue statements in any of his posts? I've not noticed any errors in anything that he has said.
America has done no such thing. We are all for Europe becoming militarily stronger.
You won't get through to a gun nut, they peddle the same nonsense. It's clear which group in America has the least brains, dragging their country down.
But you're okay with me protecting my family against a home invader, right?
Your side relies on name-calling and personal attacks. Our side relies on facts and logic.

Yes, just like in the UK, you can use reasonable force.
per capita is a shitty way to get the results the left typically looks for when it is the metro areas that command the homicide rates by gun. It is also the areas that ban law abiding citizens from protecting themselves. One could argue that Chicago has a mass murder every weekend but that does not fit the left wing talking points
What the data says about gun deaths in the U.S.
While the number of gun deaths in the U.S. fell for the second consecutive year in 2023, it remained among the highest annual totals on record.www.pewresearch.org
Just the facts:
- Blue States
- Purple States
- Red States
If you rely on facts and logic, you would have understood what a constitutional monarchy is an applied it in your posts. If you have an intellectual disability, you would still twaddle the same nonsense. So if you feel, or, decide to use fact, involve a dictionary first.
Since I know what it is, that's yet more evidence that my side relies on facts and logic.
It doesn't seem terribly relevant to anything that I am posting.
I do not share the opinion that facts are nonsense.
No need. I am fluent in English.
The fact is, the UK has a constitutional Monarchy, so it adheres to the UK constitution. The UK's constitution is non codified, so it found in many documents and places. So the Monarchy is there to rubber stamp off what the Government wants, plus to attract tourism.
That's nice. But I have a question.
Your failure to point out any errors in my posts speaks for itself.
American English is the only proper English.
