seems like it.

when a punk lil criminal like Micheal brown gets shot we get a reaction from the white house.
when kate got shot by illegal no reaction from white house.
now that cops get hunted no reaction from white house.

seems the white house and black lives matter rhetoric opened hunting season on cops.

You're a racist coward.
 
Stop the name-calling please. It does nothing constructive to move the discussion forward. All it does is put you on the same level as those you choose to denigrate.

Nothing constructive? The thread was started with blatant racism, and down-right hate speak. Not sure why it's even allowed. I'm personally offended by him calling Michael Brown the name he did and saying **** the black lives matter movement. How can you expect an actual discussion to form from such filth? And, I'm perfectly fine with everything I've said to DutchJazzer. I've called no one else names in this thread.

Since I've moved from Utah, a bunch of new friends from here always make fun of how backwards and racist Utah is. The amount of racist trash that gets posted on this site, and remains on it without the mods flinching is making me see what they're talking about. I'm not calling out the mods or backseat moderating. Just responding reasonably to your charge that I'm putting myself on DutchJazzer's level. I've posted no hate-speech or racially charged, baseless statements.

It's the Second Amendment, really. The NRA wouldn't have much of a leg to stand on without the second amendment.

Completely disagree! Completely!

Most countries have some sort of "to bear arms" right. Ours even talks about the arms being regulated. But we are the only country in the world that has the NRA, a million dollar lobbyist that purposely targets politicians for daring to suggest that people have background checks or that arms be regulated. A violation of the very second amendment you mentioned.

Listen, I'm not against the second amendment. But let's have some common sense here. We need mandatory background checks on every gun sold. There needs to be greater regulation. Why not limit the amount of ammo? Why not extend the waiting period?

It's just common sense.

At any rate, Thriller and HH, (but mainly Thriller since you mentioned it) if you can find a link to other counties' guaranteeing the right of their citizens to possess guns without any specific limitations, please post it.

To my knowledge, the U.S. is the only county where it is guaranteed by our Constitution. And where the Supreme Court has issued rulings knocking down restrictions that have been passed by national, state and local jurisdictions.

But on the other hand, I've never really researched the issue, perhaps we're not as unique in this aspect as I think we are. Like I said, links would be helpful.


EDIT: In answer to my own question, I found this link https://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2010/12/have_gun_want_to_travel.html

Do any foreign states guarantee the right to keep and bear arms like we do in the United States?

Yes. Mexico, Haiti, and Guatemala all enshrine the right to pack heat in their constitutions. Guatemala's Article 38 is the only one that's as broad as our Second Amendment (it guarantees "the right of possession of arms for personal use"). Article 10 of the Mexican constitution and Article 268-1 of Haiti's constitution limit the right to the confines of the home and allow the government to pass laws significantly restricting ownership. Mexicans, for example, are supposed to get a permit, renewable every year, from the military, and all firearms must be registered. (The law is widely ignored. Only 4,300 licenses have been issued for Mexico's 105 million people.) Handguns must be .380 caliber or less, shotguns can't be greater than 12 gauge, and rifles must be .30 caliber or smaller...
