Guns

America was built on the right to own guns not just one gun and not just one type. The constitution is very clear guns are to assist the people to challenge corrupt government. Guns are an integral part of the American constitution.

Hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of people in America own guns legally as is their right but that right is now being heavily challenged by what Americans loosely describe as left wing progressives they seem to think that if you take guns away from people honest enough to buy and register them legally you have solved the problem and cut the crime rate to nil.

How ludicrous, ignorant and typically left wing is that?

In a gun free country like the UK its far easier to get a gun illegally than it is to go through the song, dance and character investigation it takes to get one legally. You can I'm told and have read buy one for about a hundred pounds. Okay its probably not new and it may well have been used to commit serious crimes but a gun is for shooting right? It doesn't need forms or permission particularly illegal guns.

In America some cities have designated themselves sanctuary cities this means that illegal immigrants will not be arrested and deported if they choose to go to a sanctuary city nor apparently will they be handed over to the federal authorities if they are wanted for crimes committed in America. Isn't that nice and civilised of them.

Except. Recently a young girl walking with her father in one of these wonderful sanctuary cities was shot dead by an illegal immigrant who just happened to find a gun as he was strolling about free as a bird in a sanctuary city. Not surprisingly the girls distraught family are furious as are most people.

Aaand right on cue along come the liberal progressives to announce that its not the fault of the crazy, pompous, patronizing and as we now know dangerous sanctuary city authorities who could have handed the murderer over to federal authorities before he murdered anyone. Oh no its all the fault of the laws that allow Americans to own guns never mind that the particular gun the illegal immigrant used to commit murder was stolen its last legal owner having been an officer of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Nancy Pelosi senior Democrat and political representative of the sanctuary city concerned has announced that 'City policies are not the problem Guns are'. I have trouble believing anyone with half a working brain said it.

It is hundreds of years too late to ban guns in America. Guns are everywhere they are easier to get hold of illegally than guns in the UK. All banning guns would do is leave all the illegal weapons on the streets because you can bet your mortgage very few of those would be handed in and leave all the law abiding citizens defenseless.

Politicians like Nancy Pelosi must be dreadful lying people as are all those who agree with them and who want to ban guns to law abiding people who may never use them for more than clay pigeon shooting or target practice at an authorised club.

In a country full of illegal weapons a legally owned gun is a sense of security a knowledge that if attacked you can fight back. If I lived in America I would own a gun and I would not hand it over to some smug git of a politician who is protected by would you believe heavily armed guards.

I could name the sanctuary city but what difference would that make all sanctuary cities are the same all put their law abiding citizens at risk by willfully refusing to deal with illegal immigration which means they have no clue as to who or how dangerous some of their city inhabitants are.
