You say that, as if it would be a bad thing. If we had been under British rule, then slavery would have ended 50 years earlier, and not taken a civil war to do it.
Slavery Abolition Act, (1833), in British history, act of Parliament that abolished slavery in most British colonies, freeing more than 800,000 enslaved Africans in the Caribbean and South Africa as well as a small number in Canada. It received Royal Assent on August 28, 1833, and took effect on August 1, 1834.Wrong.....the only reason Britain was able to end slave transport on British ships, which is what they did.....they didn't have slaves in England......so what they did was far less than what we had to do.......
If they had had about a million slaves in England with people basing their businesses on owning slaves, it would not have ended so easily in Britain...

Had we lost the war of 1812, slavery would have been outlawed in North America in 1833.Yeah....again.......they were not in England, they were across oceans......not even close to what we had to deal with here in the U.S. after Britain and Spain bought blacks from Africans and transported them here...
Exactly. "Warning shots" is bullshit leftist twaddle. Rule number one of gun use that pretty much every gun owner knows by heart: never put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to put a bullet in the person it's aiming at.Unlikely. The judicial system typically views warning shots as careless behavior that could fall under the definition of unlawful use of deadly force, and common sense indicates a warning shot merely gives an attacker a extra chance to shoot/knife/bludgeon you.
God you are a dense fucking twat.A "gun use" doesn't mean using the gun?
I know I know. But no matter how many times you use common sense on democRats it don't work. Only thing that works is to bitch slap (make sure you use an open hand) the shit out of them and if there is anything left of them bitch slap them again and make sure you rob them of any food stamps. We will starve them out. Besides would you want any of these idiots to have a gun? Half would shoot them self, a lot more if they were loaded. If you still wouldn't want to be around any armed idiots( and I don't blame you) at last give them some rusty razor blades to play with. Also just because we love the sport of shooting don't mean we won't pick up a table leg with all it's hardware and beat you even more senseless if there is such a thing.There Are Far More Defensive Gun Uses Than Murders in America.

While Americans know that guns take many innocent lives every year, many don’t know that firearms also save them.
On May 15, an attacker at an apartment complex in Fort Smith, Ark., fatally shot a woman and then fired 93 rounds at other people before a man killed him with a bolt-action rifle. Police said he “likely saved a number of lives in the process.”
On June 30, a 12-year-old Louisiana boy used a hunting rifle to stop an armed burglar who was threatening his mother’s life during a home invasion.
On July 4, a Chicago gunman shot into a crowd of people, killing one and wounding two others before a concealed handgun permit holder shot and wounded the attacker. Police praised him for stepping in.
These are just a few of the nearly 1,000 instances reported by the media so far this year in which gun owners have stopped mass shootings and other murderous acts, saving countless lives. And crime experts say such high-profile cases represent only a small fraction of the instances in which guns are used defensively. But the data are unclear, for a number of reasons, and this has political ramifications because it seems to undercut the claims of gun rights advocates that they need to possess firearms for personal protection -- an issue now before the Supreme Court.
Americans who look only at the daily headlines would be surprised to learn that, according to academic estimates, defensive gun uses — including instances when guns are simply shown to deter a crime — are four to five times more common than gun crimes, and far more frequent than the fewer than 20,000 murders each year, with or without a gun. But even when they prevent mass public shootings, defensive uses rarely get national news coverage. Those living in major news markets such as New York City, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles are unlikely to hear of such stories.

Take the fatal shooting of two at the West Freeway Church of Christ near Fort Worth, Texas, in December 2019, for example. The media covered this attack, but repeatedly described the parishioners who stopped further bloodshed as “security guards.” “These were not security professionals, just members of the church designated as security personnel as a kind of honorary title,” Jack Wilson, the church member credited with stopping the attack, told RCI. Wilson said that 19 to 20 members of the congregation were armed, but that neither he nor the church monitored who was carrying.
Comment:
You would think that the American people would prefer to hear/see stories like these. That is just not the case. They want to see hatred. They want to see the worst of human interaction. We have been so indoctrinated into violence (video games and TV) that we come to expect it like it was our evening meal.
Typically the Media say's 'If it bleeds it reads'. So why would they ever give the public the truth? Rather they would go along with Socialist power grabbing ideology.
