Obviously, Banjo, reading is not your "long suit". I specifically referred to the advanced wealthy nations of Western Europe, Canada, Australia, and Japan.

I deliberately did not include developing Latin-American nations who are not capable of enforcing their existing laws like Mexico, Venezuela, and Columbia.

Europeans shake their heads in dismay, when they read about our totally preventable daily gun carnage.

If you read Australian coverage of the Oklahoma gun slaying of an Australian baseball player, you would realize the alarm which residents of other advanced nations view our 18th century gun culture. There are reasons our country, with its regressive frontier values, leads the world in incarceration.

BTW, you folks can stop with the bogus equivalencies. Yes, Hitler favored gun control especially for non-Nordics. He also was a vegetarian and was an animal lover (as long as they weren't Jewish or gay). By your reasoning folks that don't eat meat and love animals should be reviled as un-patriotic and un-American.

After decades of trying, Europe as a whole still can’t quite figure out how to be flexible enough to compete in the global economy.


Obviously neither can the U.S. The U.S. response to a changing world was to send all of our good paying blue collar jobs overseas and rack up as much debt as possible to China.

For that you can blame the greedy politicians in both political parties who sold out their fellow citizens for corporate campaign contributions. NAFTA was implemented by both Republicans and Democrats. The charge was led by Mr. Republican "lite", professor Harold Hill-wannabe-Bill Clinton.

I wouldn't be so focused on pointing out the "splinters" in Europe's eyes instead of the "log" in our own.

BTW, the Norwegian "commie gun grabbers" have the highest living standard in the world. We could learn a few things from them. Oh but I forgot, learning things from other nations is beneath the dignity of the U.S.

Save.out children. Outlaw.liberals.in education. Become a.world leqder in technology and engineering, again. Don't be the retard nation supplying cheap uneducated labor to producing countries. Time for the US to grow.up and mature past the childish, progressive era. Progressivism proved to be a failure in the 20th century.

Brian, you are obviously a product of the failed education system in America. You are so stupid you do not know what Admiral Yamamoto knew when he said Japan could.never invade America because there would be a, "rifle behind every blade of grass." King George found out what happens when you try to disarm Americans. We beat them so badly the British military never fully recovered. So as each of there possessiins rebelled, they had to walk away. Trying to disarm the American people was the spark which ultimately burned down the British Empire. Tell you what, dumbass, why don't you be the one to come confiscate.my firearms.

Gun control is exactly what we do not need. What if all Americans were ordered to give up their guns, do you feel safe in a country thats becoming more diversified and with a leader like Obama? He's Muslim for Pete's sake. He's hoping this happens for a country takeover, it's another form of communism in this country, can't you see that. I will say since Obama has made a lot out of gun control, there seem to have been more incidents of killings, but in a country this large, it's still on a smaller scale than some countries. The north may be easier to release their God given right to protect their families, but the south won't go down so easy. Even obama would be a bigger fool than he already is, to come down south and enforce his gun law. He would be fair game in hunting season. Lol. Just kiddin but you get my drift. We have rights to protect those we love and if we allow that jackal in office start removing our protection, what will be next? Gun control is not the way. And too, if Obama is so focused on gun control, why in the wold is that stupid freak allowing all those foreigners in this country without being investigated? Can you understand there are many of them that are child molesters, rapists, killers, and drugers, that are rejects in their own country? I'm sure their countries are glad to get rid of a lot of them because it cleans out their problems. Just go to America where their govt. is crooked, weak, and no good; where drug trafficking is ramped; where you can live off their govt. nd sit on your asses and reap all the benefits, not even the true Americans get. This is what obamas done for this country. He has a plan and the more foreigners he brings in and dumps on us, bleed our monies, he can then demand votes for Michelle. So, do we need to have gun control....he'll no!
