Why do so many other developed nations not have America’s baleful gun culture? Germany, the UK, Japan, for example, don’t seem to have this terrible issue with gun crime, and yet there is relative peace in terms of general society, and certainly mass killings are rare. America needs to seriously look at its Second Amendment. There are only three countries that have a constitutional right to keep and bear arms: Mexico, Guatemala, and the United States. Although Mexico and Guatemala both have a constitutional right to bear arms, the US is in a league of its own simply because it is the only country without restrictions on gun ownership in its constitution. After the Second Amendment was adopted in 1791, it inspired other countries around the world to provide their citizens with the right to own guns. However, only 15 constitutions (in nine countries) ever included an explicit right to bear arms. They are Bolivia, Costa Rica, Colombia, Honduras, Nicaragua, Liberia, Guatemala, Mexico, and the US. All of those countries, excluding Mexico, the US, and Guatemala, have since rescinded the constitutional right to bear arms. So, America is the outlier here in terms of citizens’ rights to bear arms. Does it want to continue this, and put up with its horrible mass killings? Or does it want to consider repealing the Second Amendment, thereby allowing the average American citizen to breathe that much easier in the ‘land of the free’?

Reform are just speaking to those who think immigration is out of control. When you get Labour and the Tories admitting immigration is out of control you can be sure immigration is out of control. The ‘gay’ thing always bemuses me. Never got the ‘hate what another human does when it comes to their sexual orientation’ memo. Makes utterly no sense. I tend to dislike people for their ideas, their beliefs, their opinions, their dress-sense, and not something over which they have utterly no say or control. It’s like dissing people with a different skin colour. Pointless. Not only pointless, but totally stupid and moronic, as no one chooses their skin colour, just as no one chooses their sexuality. But here’s the clincher for me: even if we did choose our skin colour and sexuality, it still wouldn’t bother me one iota that some random has a different skin colour or sexuality. The sooner we can move beyond this primitive nonsense as a species, the better. If it’s consenting adults, it’s quite simply no one else’s business what they get up to. To me, being homophobic is a bit like feeling resentful of someone digging Uranus because you’re not an astronomer! 🔭
