still waiting for you to back up this:
I can almost smell your contempt for us. Well fuck you too.
I already did. Its in the quote I used to make that statement.
Which I contested.
Fucking weak, Rage. Shows me that you aren't man enough to back up your words. Don't mistake my contempt for your words with a contempt for the country in which you live.
I'm not wrong on the grounds that you disagree with me. And I did not have a problem with your contempt for my words, so cut the politics ok? Lets play ball like men. You were making derogatory statements about my country and its laws. Do you deny this?
Back it up or shut up.
It doesn't matter how many times you say that. The answer is, I did. Its in the quote of that post. Now if you were to be an honest man, you could say, "Rage, i'm too lazy to go back in the thread and read that, or give it any thought. Could you be a punkin and do all my work for me? Thankies."
And i'd say, you're a faggot, groan, and do it.
Let's quote your whole post:
You may regard it as a right granted to you in 'merica (fuck yeah) by the constitution, but it is not a universal right.
I can almost smell your contempt for us. Well fuck you too.
By your logic we should have more killings than you, then.
OBJECTION: misleading!
We were always more violent, even with you had guns. Don't even try that shit, man. Also, after guns were banned over there, violent crime skyrocketed.
Both the UK and Australia instituted strict gun control legislation which basically eliminated private gun ownership in 1997. However, neither countries' legislation had an impact on lowering violent crime, and in both cases violent crime actually went up in the years following the enactment of the gun legislation.
Some gun control advocates, like Piers Morgan, would point towards the lower homicide rate of each country, but the fact of that matter is that both countries enjoyed the same lower homicide rates than the United States even before enacting their gun legislation, making those claims disingenuous.
Moreover, despite the UK having its gun ban, the violent crime rate is still far above that of the United States, and the country has also earned the title of violent crime capital of Europe.

Also, how many of those dead people in the statistics are career criminals, rapists, thieves, etc?
Where did I insult your country? Where did I "show my contempt" for it? You said:
You were making derogatory statements about my country and its laws. Do you deny this?
And then:
It doesn't matter how many times you say that. The answer is, I did. Its in the quote of that post. Now if you were to be an honest man, you could say, "Rage, i'm too lazy to go back in the thread and read that, or give it any thought. Could you be a punkin and do all my work for me? Thankies."
"Its [sic] in the quote of that post."
Now, if *you* were an honest man, you might finally want to come clean and tell the class what got your knickers in a twist, but no, you apparently couldn't be arsed to do any work. You were personally insulted, somehow, and are starting to realise that you might have misread what I said and meant, but instead of straightening it out with me, you went right on with the internet tough guy routine.
And now it's all this.
Perhaps you wish to refer to my post, the one you replied to:
Driving is a privilege, not a right. Owning a firearm is a right, and all rights must be granted to all citizens. All people are created equal.
This is where we disagree. I don't see owning a firearm as a right any more than I see owning a nuke as a right.
To me, saying that a blind person can't own a gun is like having a citizen pass a test before being allowed to vote. Would letting people with who fail vote lead to a decrease in the quality of elections? Even if so, it wouldn't be sufficient reason to deny them their rights. If there are preconditions on who can exercise universal rights, then they aren't universal rights anymore.
Considering the quality of the voting population, I think you are on to something here.
But seriously, owning a gun is not a universal right. You may regard it as a right granted to you in 'merica (fuck yeah) by the constitution, but it is not a universal right.
If you are talking about my comment re the quality of the voting population, that comment is directed at the entire globe. I have little faith in democracy because I think people in general don't know enough and are too easily swayed.
This opinion is not news; I have stated it before, many times.
And if we are talking about "universal" rights, we are talking about more than just rights applicable on the US.
So again, if you insist on claiming that I showed contempt for your country, prove it. Back up your shit. Or apologise.
C'mon, big boy, show me that you are more than an irresponsible internet tough guy.
