[QUOTE="Rs50matt, post: 149554, member: 27872"] I don’t really know where to start. So I won’t get into the history of nations just my own queries and understandings. Speeding tickets are legally enforced. You can just tear it up but then you’ll get a court summons (not immediately but if you continue to refuse) this may sound like “just accepting it” but that’s what it is. Speed limits are in place for safety reasons. If you don’t stick to that and you get caught you get punished. This may sound controlling but look at the flip side. Your car is hit by someone who was going way to fast and your kids are killed. They’ve been given speeding tickets before but just tore them up as there was no repercussion for doing so. You’d be pretty upset. The right to bare arms to defend yourself against government is no longer relevant and to me sounds like a last ditch effort to defend having guns. You may have a nice new PDW but the government has bigger guns. There is no country in the developed world where civilians have the ability to oppose government arsenal. Over here in the UK we hear a lot on the news about mass shootings in the states (I’m aware the country is much larger than the uk) most of these at schools. It doesn’t make sense to us how people can still defend the right to bare arms when kids (little innocent people) have the possibility of being killed at school. It’s barbaric The only question I have to you is drugs. America has controls on drugs and people still get hold of them. So why control it? . What I’m getting at is I’ve heard Americans defend guns by saying if you get rid of them only bad guys have them. That’s true over here aswell. No one has guns , police aren’t always armed and some guys are still able to get hold of guns. But this is very very rare circumstances. Very rarely do you hear of him violence in Europe. But different place. Different people. It’s a stalemate arguement. No matter what you say I will never defend someone freely having a gun. And no matter what I say you will never give up you guns.
