I wish we had the equivalent of the 2nd amendment...... We do in the Bill of Rights 1689 "Protestants may have arms for their defence suitable to their conditions and as allowed by law". Unfortunately it's a bit too 'flaky' compared to the US 2A and there's not the will in the British people to see it enforced. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Accip74 7,112 Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 The grass always greener as they say...... About 7 years back in the UK me & a work colleague were taken out for a meal by some company reps. One of the guys was an American, a really nice chap who had grown up in rural America hunting shooting etc......he was pro-gun, but had concerns about the gun situation in the states. Whilst doing similar work in the states, working in a construction supplies company, he'd twice had to deal with disgruntled armed customers! What he loved about the UK was the lack of guns on everyday folk, that it was more relaxed regarding the real threat of gun violence. He thought we had the gun situation about right......:-) Just one guys opinion, that's all...... I think if you are a licences gun holder in the UK, you should have the right to defend your property with it from some scumbag...tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 I think the founding fathers had lines of redcoats in mind when they penned those words. I think they would be horrified if they were alive today. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,775 Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) I think the founding fathers had lines of redcoats in mind when they penned those words. I think they would be horrified if they were alive today. They had tyrannical leaders in mind. 2A wasn't written to protect the fledgling USA from the British, it was written to protect the USA from the US Government. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." It's a bit different today with the advances in weapons systems so the founding fathers would probably infringe on the right in the cases of cruise missile etc LOL but I think they'd still retain the right for the people to bear small arms for the purpose of maintaining effective Militia.

scothunter 12,609 Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 oh i believe the British heavily iinfluenced that ammendment. They saw the Brits as tyrannts and wanted to govern themselfs.Anything else was an afterthought. Effective Militia on paper may sound good, but its far from that mate! LOL i knew you would be on that post like a pigeon on a chip. Not gonna debate it with you buddy i think we both know we are poles apart on this issue. I will bow out gracefully and let you get back to you're gun porn (joke) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
