its all to do with how the govenment is percived(sp) they ban replicas and the "norms" and the M.A.G. people (no disrespect to them or the loved ones they have lost) have a little party then some poor young lad is shot by a REAL gun, shock horror all the man power to stop replicas coming in to the country have just ignored all the easten block weapons coming in and going straight into the hands of criminals...(sorry again for the rant)

What I meant was some States forbid carrying do they not?Some States are gun free?? Eagle - which ones are those?
But why not?P.S. Oh - banning guns here in the US will never happen.
Absolutely - I'm not arguing with that. I'm asking why the Constitution can't be changed? Our laws and inherent rights (alledgedly) change all the time - as do most in all modern societies. There is no reason on earth why the Constitution (and the various ammendments) can't be re-written again if the American public wish it so.WHY can't Brits understand why guns will never be outlawed here in the US? I mean, even when I tell them that it's part of our constitution, which has never been altered, they still seem to think it can happen. They keep asking why.
Do you really have to live here to fully understand what it means? That out country was FOUNDED ON OUR RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS!!! What will it take to make those in the UK understand? I don't understand the disillusionment. It seems very cut and dry to me.
True, hence why I posted this thread. Relax, I'm on your side - I happen to fully support the the right to bear arms (in the home) here in the UK.Here, I give you the bottom line: If you ban guns those who still want them to commit whatever crime, will find a way to get them nomatter where you live and what laws apply.

Cool. :cool Me neither - it's all good discussion.I'm not mad, Eagle, I've just had this conversation with quite a few of my British bretheren this past week and none of them get it, even when fully explained.
RKW,
Assassinations did not originate in the US but have been around since...well, Genesis. If an assassin had no guns they would simply look for or even discover new ways to assassinate. Simple as that if they are that determined.
It has been proven so many times here in so many towns and states and in many countries.
Suppress citizen’s ownership of guns and you make a heaven for the criminal.
Check the facts: Australia took away to guns and crime jumped 35%.
....
Gun control laws DO not make anyone safer. ...........
Every POLICE STATE bans guns and takes then away. Why? To stop uprisings.
