The right to bear arms in the US is a bit outdated, in this insecure world full of criminals it should be updated somehow. Owning a firearm or a semi-automatic gun just isn't enough to protect one's family against all those criminals just waiting to get a hand on your property. It's time to extend this right to be free to own your own tanks, artillery, and heat-seeking missiles! Maybe a mine-field in the lawn would help as well?Admit, you have to go with the time, the world is such a insecure place!

I said I woudnīt post anything more in this thread, but that wouldnīt be fair to Stan and Hartmann. Hartmann, I accept that you had no intention to offend anyone (and my own post sounds quite more aggresive that I wanted it to be...). Still, it is quite hard to read that we are slaves and subjects, not citizens, even if it was meant in a joking, light-hearted mood. Stan, I undestood subject to mean 'someone without rights' in this context, i.e. subject of an absolute king or government. I donīt wish to enter the minefield of discussing gun control in the U.S. Thatīs your problem and I donīt want to intrude, but the question in every country (we too have this kind of issue in Spain, although not as big in public interest) is not gun control yes/no, but what amount of gun control is desireable. After all, there is no country that allows you to buy a 155mmm campaign howitzer, or a heavy AA machinegun (well, you CAN in some countries, but still is against the laws, even in them).
