Gun control in Poland: should Polish people be allowed to own guns?

You wouldn't know "put to rest" if it climbed into your battered old car, ran over that fake wishing well you have in your garden and bummed Lil' Stabby.

Repeating the same nonsense about wanting gun laws weakened doesn't make any difference, In Europe we are happy without your high levels of gun crime.


This is not a debating club.

More likely it's lingering effect of the frontier experience. Generations of people pushing across the continent mean that people on the frontier had to deal with not having state institutions at ready disposal. They had to be able to defend themselves from various dangers... (including others who were on the frontier).

The frontier experience did more to shape American national character than any other single event or process and is the root of many, many things that mystify Europeans.

Makes sense. We did all that 1500 years ago, so it's settled down a bit. Our residents of Dodge City spoke Latin, Welsh and Englisc.

...until you, Euroholes, need men who hold cups with their fists, not two fingers...

Last time, Frenchies folded like a cheap beach chair. Danes even faster. Norway the same...Belgium and the Netherlands - 2 days...

From Wikipedia:

After heavy shelling and bombing, Polish forces in Warsaw officially surrendered to the Germans on September 28, 1939.

...in 4 weeks...


That's what these parasites do all the time...

To my relief, the US and Americans are their favorite targets.

It would be fun to watch Europe in flames on CNN, with a sixpack and a bag of popcorn next to me...laughing my ass off...and recalling all the insults..."Golden Cow", "trumpists"..."gun nuts"...keep it up, morons,...

In the US, you cannot vote to deprive me of my ability to defend my family and myself.

The idiocy of "we will make you unsafe and defenseless for the safety of others" is as perverted as it gets.

The question gun-hating morons never answer:

2 am. Two drugged up scumbgs just busted through the front door.

What's next?

The answer: In Poland, we don't have front doors.

Or silence, lame joke...or anything to weasel out...Consistent with why kids cover their eyes when scared...If I don't see it, it doesn't exist.

There is no doubt that a lingering effect from the frontier experience exists, contributing to an atmosphere of acceptance around guns. However, I wouldn't overstate its impact. The main issue at hand is the concept of freedom and the so-called Constitutional rights. I believe you may not fully understand the U.S. Constitution and are searching for justifications to support your viewpoint on guns.

The concept of freedom and the frontier experience exist in a feedback loop...


why "so-called"?

The Bill of Rights prevents the government from doing certain things, like naming an official religion.

One of those areas that the Federal Government cannot legislate is restrictions on gun ownership.

The US Supreme Court (ultimate arbiter of what the Constitution does and does not mean) has ruled that this is not limited to militias regulated by the government.

I'm currently watching US, Iran and Israel in flames on BBC. They don't say anything about Europe.

Every country has its own cultural DNA. Ours are the Four Estates (arguably five). That document about Divvis Flats in Glasgow that you linked to is part of the Fourth Estate, as are some of the tabloid articles that trolls here occasionally link to. It may look like washing dirty linen in public, however it is in fact part of the process of maintaining stability and effecting necessary change.


No, however people with more and bigger guns than you can lay your wizened old fingers on can do precisely that and do it very efficiently and quickly.

Yeah, right.

Can you even remember how many guns you have?

Ask him how many children he has, maybe he at least remembers that.

I used to have 3. I gave the Beretta to a friend of mine so I am now down to 2.

I appreciate the quote from mafketis about the concept of freedom and the frontier experience being interconnected. While I understand that it's part of the American experience, I believe it isn't the central issue. In this context, it's an interesting idea, but it's not particularly significant.

The central issue is who is going to protect me when my life is about to come to a violent end.

Is it going to be King's thugs, the police, or me? Nobody is not an option.

Gun haters never answer this question. They immediately switch to statistics and probabilities.

Well...when my life is threatened, I don't give a fvck about statistics - except those based on the sample of 1 - me.

I don't know anyone who would be willing to protect you.
