There's a theme there. What could it possibly be?

Because "your dead kids don't trump my rights" is the only thing they think about.

the militias or in other words get them away from the civilians nearly 100% almost the same for the police as there are other options.
However to do that would require an amendment to the Constitution that specifically says that so the courts cant say it doesnt.

Man wrote those words, man can reinterpret them for the modern age. That getting guns away from citizens requires a Constitutional amendment is just another lie that the media have bought into, us intelligent and sensible folks do not have to make the purchase.

an amendment to the Constitution that is clear and concise cant.

To the 2nd amendment and fuck the 4th and 5th to round up the guns it is useful to fuck the 1st and 6th to shut up any whiners.

Don't worry, it's all for the public good and no one will ever trample your rights - without good reason...

You're talking a few hundred billion dollars just to buy back the guns at market value like Australia did. Let alone the administrative and enforcement burden and costs.

and their military gear.
Use the metal and recast statues in every main square of every major city as a testament to the bygone Orwellian folly of more guns means more security.

At least, a Democratic society cannot do so...
And due process alone would require a court ruling for each person, another extremely expensive proposition.

I keep hearing that.

People are sure paranoid as most people in the US are not armed, but facts do not seem to count.

and now gun ownership is the same as it was then. Good thing to be firearms manufacturer when the government make a shortage to fill.

85,000 X 365 = 31,025,000 way off, where did you get this number, may I ask? Do you have a link to the source data?

They, like we do in the Fifth Amendment, have a Constitutional prohibition on taking private property without just compensation. Now, Australia also only had about 1 Million guns to buy. We have 310 times that amount at current estimates. They did not have a second amendment, so the confiscation laws were legal.

What you are calling for is highly illegal. You want to take property without compensation. What a horrible precedent that would be! I'm sure the 1% is just salivating at the thought of taking even more from the working class.

a well regulated civilian militia under government control.

It doesn't matter if you make it legal or not. If it was legal before, you cannot dispossess people without just compensation.

Not the real one, and it frightens me that some would be so loose with rights. What rights do others want to take that would be next.

Conservatives want a country where everyone is armed to the teeth, everyone is ultra right religious, and no one is in charge.

Case closed.

Having lived in London, the ethnicities are as mixed as they are in any American city.

So, WHY does England have fewer shootings? Because they have a single police force that is professionally trained, and whose training and behavior is held to account by a national authority.

That, as opposed to a thousand little police forces scattered all over the country, many of which are run by people who are elected by local voters who actually score their job success ostensibly on how many 'crooks' they lock up or shoot. (Or at least on how many people who LOOK like 'crooks,' and therefore probably ARE crooks.)

Not to mention much better health and mental care.

Whistleblower Reveals California Cops Get ‘Shooting Tattoos’ To Celebrate Their Kills

either by a psychopath or sociopath.

If you have lots of guns, you are going to have lots of shootings, as surely as autumn follows summer.

You won't be able to fix this problem until you repeal the 2nd - which is to say, ever.

You could probably ameliorate it somewhat, though.

British cops are not killing British citizens because, unlike America, there are
a) not as many British citizens trying to kill other British citizens, and
b) not as many British citizens trying to kill cops

My 1926 bolt action rifle?

Now I see you are running away from it and will not answer a simple question.

I will ask it again

Is my 1926 bolt action rifle what you say "military grade"? Are you afraid of it?

Cops killed per year in the US

2007 - 191
2008 - 147
2009 - 125
2010 - 161
2011 - 171
2012 - 122
2013 - 100

653 homicides in the UK in 2012, a rate of 1.0 per 100,000. 14,827 in the US, a rate of 4.6 per 100,000.

Given that even the currently armed cops are getting killed, does it make sense to have them unilaterally disarm? And try to chase after armed robbers and murderers carrying only billy clubs?

of course the cops and the good folks all are felling safer because they are safer.

ZERO cops killed. The evidence is factual and complete. The debate is over. End of story. I rest my case.

Smart in crime works better than tough on crime.

For one thing, the good folks are safer because they simply have a lower homicide rate. You may want to harp about how scared you are of cops. I tend to be more scared of the thugs who are not paid to protect me, but are instead "self employed".

And police in England DO have guns, and use them too.

"In the year 2011–12, there were 6,756 Authorised Firearms Officers, 12,550 police operations in which firearms were authorised throughout England and Wales and 5 incidents where conventional firearms were used.[2]

Since 2004, police forces have increasingly been issuing Tasers to Authorised Firearms Officers[3] for use against armed assailants. Tasers are considered by the authorities to be a non-lethal alternative to firearms."

civilian hands, there is no logical response to their restriction.

That UK police have over a billion gazillion weapons

Totally different culture. Those police also have weapons. I am sure their officers are better trained and there is just a tiny number required compared to the USA and its 300+ million people.

I guess you surrender the truth for not answering my question in post #40 about where you came up with your numbers.

Forgot to answer my question in #32 also, "Is my 1926 bolt action rifle considered military grade" and what is your definition of that?

I made mine up in the post you are referring to, did you make up the numbers you stated?

teeth population to cause cops to suffer pants-pi**ing fear every time they interact with the public.

Maybe that cop should find a new job. Like a meter reader or oceanographer.

Something that doesn't involve authority and guns.
