Gun crimes here are very low.
And you are a dictatorship right? No, well guess that fucks the right wingers argument up doesn't it?

When you say, "meese" do you mean "Edwin Meese"?

We have. Bicicle folk are a thing here in weekends mostly and laws were made, for cyclists basic wear and traffic laws to keep drivers in check. 1 meter minimum overtake distance, they have to wear at least a helmet.
It has reduced car vs bicicle accidents.

Quote:law abiding gun owners do not need to betold. the burden of gun ownership weighs heavily on people's minds when ever they leave their homes or have company over or even worse kids. there is no peace for a lawful gun owner if their guns are not secured. and those are the people a propaganda campaign would most directly influence. It is the monsters who do not care or seek guns to do ill that make it unsafe for everyone else. most of them have guns illegally now, so what are more laws going to do? what will a propaganda campaign do?
I think it's important to distinguished between 'law abiding gun owner' and 'responsible gun owner'. One can be lawful and still be irresponsible
I linked to a story a little over a month ago in which a woman in the US left a handgun accessible to a four year old who shot and killed his six year old sister. The mum faced no charges.

My almost 3 year old is one of a curious mind. Keeping bleach, assorted torture devices, etc out of reach is a pain as it is. My grandpa gave me his 12 gauge shotgun, horizontal paired barrels. I wouldn't pass the psych exam anyway. So I gave it away to be destroyed, by the cops so they say. I have a galvanized 3/4 inch pipe under my pillow. SO if you walk into my home and me being aware, the pipe works better.

2. No invader is scared of you pea shooter
3. So your justifying guns by saying criminals won't follow the law . Think that logic through.
4.Nope because none of you pussies have the balls to start a war because you know your band of weekend warriors would get stomped

That doesn't mean that what she did was lawful. We have federal and state CAP laws, we don't enforce them.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Some of your guys views of gun owners is so disingenuously disconnected from reality that it's not even worth having a discussion about it.

How ironic.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
