Is there a naive view of things what makes governments pursue the civil disarment? Or is another form of social engineering? I believe the ideal of the monopoly of the force in the State hands is one of the worst forms of tyranny. Governments so willing to conform the Chart of Human rights deny their citizens the simple and basic right to live...
Down here in Argentina things are going worse everyday. In a country shaped almost the same way the US was, where the gun was part of the conquest of vast, empty spaces... now the civil disarment (the way was done in UK) is in the government aims, while crime is skyrocketing, and murder, rapes, and kidnapping are common words in everyday news.
Well... if this State dos not respect private property, what can we expect about private lives.

Persona
An email address is required, but will not be published.
You cannot subscribe to notifications of follow-up comments.
You cannot set your own avatar, name and location: generic versions of these will be published with your comment.
You cannot contact members via private messages and access their public profiles.
Posting
Your comment cannot exceed 300 characters.
You can only write plain text. To create paragraphs, press Enter twice (while the textbox has the focus, otherwise pressing Enter will post the comment)
All HTML tags will be stripped upon posting your comment, as will anything that even remotely looks like a URL.
Hey now! The tags stripping & links munching little helpers (let's call them Muncher and Stripper and not mind how wrong that sounds) are ferocious. I bred them that way. If you receive a nasty validation error or half your comment vanishes, something has triggered them, and they answer with full aggression, not 'micro' ones. Try and reformulate your text to appease them (for instance, beware of copy/pasting from Word or another web page). Use the preview to confirm you pass by Muncher and Stripper unmolested (now that didn't sound any better)
Stripper (oh dear, oh dear) will put a ✂ in place of anything that looks like a link—and he has about half the subtlety of a bombing raid over Dresden. (but makes for it with twice the hostility) Do.use.the.preview, even if you don't think you've inserted a link, for he may disagree and he's not open to negotiation.
You cannot edit your entry once submitted. Use the preview before posting. Really.
