184 mass shootings in the US so far this year (in 120 days).

575 children killed by guns in the US so far this year - that's almost five a day.

I'm sure Panther
and his gung-ho wannabe gangsta clique
wouldn't give a toss about these sorts of horrific statistics.

I note that he's not once commented about the unacceptable
numbers of unnecessary firearm deaths in his good ol' US of A.

Angry

firearms are good in the hands of , say, farmers.

not so much mentally ill urban types.

holland has just seen its farming ranks absolutley gutted.

this was supposedly to help the climate but its really because holland has an enormous industry in producing food flavourings and addititves and they are linking up with big food to feed you guys processed fake meat.

dutch farmers took to the streets (as did the french) but they were soon brought under the iron fist of the dictartorship

that wouldnt happen in america.

i have been to texas and you just try and tell the ranchers i met that they need to hand over their cows.

good luck with that.

guns can be very important deterant to reduce the over reach of the urban elite.

Until relatively recently, Dutch farming prowess was hailed as one of the wonders of the global economy. In 2017, a National Geographic article headlined “This tiny country feeds the world” encapsulated a sense of national pride at the Netherlands’ status as the second-biggest exporter of agricultural products by value behind the United States.

These days, Dutch farmers are in the headlines for less upbeat reasons. As the climate emergency and a related biodiversity crisis belatedly take centre stage in policymaking, the prime minister, Mark Rutte, has committed to halving the country’s overall nitrogen emissions by 2030. A large proportion of these are generated by the manure and urine produced by more than 100m cattle, pigs and chickens. To reach the target, and protect biodiversity in the polluted countryside, the government has announced plans to reduce livestock numbers by a third.

they wont need to be eliminated.

they will just have to think twice about bullying their citizens

trudeau was able to freeze the bank accounts of truckers in canada.

that probably wouldnt happen in the states

this is democracy in action, government by the people and for the people.

Have a chat with Meister Eckhart.

guns are bad when in the hands of urban gangs, drug gangs, criminals,
they have no place in the city

in the rural areas where 'real" americans live, where people are productive and have strong ties with neighbours and a sense of community, guns are a good deterant to government over reach

when the constitution was written, probably 90 % of americans were rural folk , as i have describes above

we could , perhaps pass laws that only the productive members of society can be armed

Now we're talking turkey. Ammo is dispensed by the Tax Office in place of refunds. Companies pay no tax but if they send in a semi the boys will load with rimfire and smokeless and low-radiation neutron ordnance. Chinese shareholders will need to get in quick.

Despicable stuff. Think how many chicken McNuggets will get taken out of supply. Think how many tonnes of Monsanto fertiliser will go unsold. Think how many vials of growth hormones will remain in Pfizer's stock.

The "noble capitalists" won't be too happy with that, dear. That's 38.3% less chodes to farm.

sales of ammo include a tax to fund national parks in the USA,
it is actually the major source of funding to preserve the wilderness

incorrect.

meat and chicken are good nutritous foods

what you will be eating instead is big food soy meats flavoured with chemcials from dutch big food , then you will get sick and pharma can ply you with expensive drugs to stop you dying as you "linger"
