    If y'all keep letting terrorists in by the drove you will change your mind.

    Oh yeah. You do. Even your idiot mayor of London admitted it. He said there were so many in London he did not have the resources to keep up with them.

    Doubtful, but I hope that you are right. If not, look at the problems that Sweden is having now.

    Not in my experience. I feel far safer here knowing that none of my neighbours are tooled up and that the worst that can happen if i get involved in an altercation is a black eye or cracked ribs rather than getting my brains blown out (and before anyone mentions the straw men of knives or cars, (a) there are strictly enforced laws against possession of knives in public so I have no real fears there, (b) in the extremely unlikely event of someone pulling a knife in a fight you can run away from a knife and (c) if someone drives their car at you at speed then liberal gun laws are not much help as the recent tragic events at Charlottesville have demonstrated.

    So give me British 'totalitarianism' (LOL; you guys crack me up! ) over American 'freedom to be shot' anytime; how's that 'freedom' from 'big government ' going down in Houston? Doesn't look like the authorities there are getting their act together to do anything to help vulnerable people like the poor and those in nursing homes.

    Fine. Live in danger 5 times worse than the US. Force your wife and kids to live in danger 5 times worse than the US.

    If you don't care, I don't care.

    Not any more. The new Mayor is "one of them." Sadiq Khan.

    If that means not having my wife accidentally shot by one of my kids as seems to happen with depressing regularity as do your shooting spree massacres in the US then, yes, I'm perfectly fine with that. As is my wife, for the record

    One of what, exactly? A Muslim? Help, Help! Mr Mayor's a Muzzie! Head for the hills!

    Sorry, but I'm not going.to be dictated to by irrational fears, particularly not as a child of God.

    Funny, I don't ever remember that happening. I am sure it has, but I have never heard of it. It is definitely not common.

    That is actually the one who said it. So, their new mayor is the nut case.

    They are more like highly rational warnings.

    Your ignorance is simply astounding.

    Texas prisons are full of teen agers doing time for crimes of violence. They have no respect for anyone and don't scare easily.

    I would argue that a teenage intruder is far more dangerous than an adult, because he's far less predictable.

    No problem. If they are inside my home, absolutely.

    If you are so monumentally irresponsible to allow a child access to a firearm it is best you not be allowed to own one.

    I agree. I have never heard of such a case either. Not in all my 70+ years. Just more anti liberty propaganda.
