It must be an American thing though that just because the law enforcement has guns the average Joe should have them too. Unless they feel they need to defend themselves against those same law enforcement organizations? The average Joe isn't in the business of enforcing the law or protecting the country... I don't get it. Hillary - I don’t think it’ll be written out of the Constitution either.

The cops and military will always have weapons, and the general public is not necessarily going to go for them having them and telling the Average Joe and Jill that they can't have them. The best we can hope for is further modifications to the amendment regarding being able to have weapons. However, even with the ones that are already in place, people who probably shouldn't have weapons, get their hands on them. The Virginia Tech incident proved that someone who appears to be normal can fake their way into having a legitimate gun merchant sell them a weapon. In addition, the illegal gun trade has always been booming, and there is no end in sight. Gun ownership will never been written out of the US Constitution.

For several reasons, I did not feel able to respond to it in its totality without the conversation possibly taking a turn for the worse ...I didn't want that and at the same time I had no wish to appear to belittle your experience - or to offend anyone. But at least I could respond to something! Thanks for the compliment though... glad you like Like It Is :) Robert - I wouldn’t have said you were up on your high horse… well, ok, in some parts yes, and you did make some interesting assumptions - but I did read your comment at length with some consternation.

If it's 54% rather than 39% gun ownership that is indeed a sobering figure. Robert - thanks for visiting and adding your comment.

And the reason is not the radical anti-Government steriotype, I'll tell you the best reason to own a gun, and I thnk you'll understand and agree. I'm bi-racial, I grew up in an all Black family. My great grad-mother died when she was almost one hundred and remebered her mothers stories of life as a slave. My family was some of the first Blacks to move into certain areas, Klan infested areas, and they used guns to keep them safe. The Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights group, released a report called Black Out L.A. about pogroms against Black Americans in Los Angeles aimed at driving ht Black community out. This time not by Whites but by Mexican immigrants (some illegal some not) who've imported a culture of racism from South America. The news doesn't cover these attacks as hate crimes, because White liberals "like" Mexicans more than Blacks. L.A. is second only to New York in strict gun control, but Mexican illegals run guns from Latin America. So law abiding Blacks are being picked off by racists from other countries and are unable to defend themselves. The point is that I say Blacks in America (or anywhere for that matter) cannot rely on the largess of Whites (especially liberals) to protect them. Look at France where Whites are happy to Ghettoize North African women, condemned to being gang-raped by gangs they let run wild as long as they stay out of White areas. Look at Blacks in England, targeted by Arabs and East Asians, but what does England do about it? Have Tony Blair make some semi-racist comment? Read Malcolm X, and if you ignore the non-sense in his writings you'll see tha an important ruth is that Blacks cannot passively become wards of Whites, because when some group that Whites favor more, like Mexicans here are Muslims in England, start attacking Blacks it is always the case that Whites fail to protect the Blacks dumb enough to trust them. I own a gun, not because I hunt or shoot targets, but because the left in this country is in the process of embracing neo-Nazis like David Duke, because my family are Christians who live near a Mosque, because my wife's father is Jewish and anti-Semitism is on the rise in America (much to our shame). If there were know guns, then when Duke supporters, or East Asian Muslims or Mexican immigrants got 10-20 people together with bats or knove to come for me and my loved ones, while Whites look the other way, I'd simply be killed. With my shotguns I can not end up beaten to death, a victim not just of racist violence bu of misplaced trust in the fairness and caring of White liberals.
