The Chinese talking about our gun laws

[rglbegl]

This is a Chinese forum where they discuss current events from around the world.
They seem to have a better grasp of our 2nd amendment than a lot of American do.

There are some good responses to this guys little article

I think the American Constitution has a part that says the citizens have the right to overthrow an authoritarian government

The reason why America allows the ordinary people to possess guns is to prevent dictatorship

When everyone has guns, no one is afraid of a few people having guns. If it is fear of overthrowing the government, there is no need. If the current government in power truly doesn’t follow the people’s will, in four years at most, they will have to step down and at worst there are still impeachment procedures.

The reason America can sell guns so openly is because it’s a nation that respects and follows the law. The guns used in crimes in America are usually bought and sold illegally and almost never cross paths with law-abiding gun owners.

Thanks you so much for that link Rglbegle.

A very interesting forum. I'm suprised to find out how much they know about our country. I think I could go on reading for several hours.

They are jealous.../

I would say envious...

And they don't understand why we are not fighting for our Constitution and they think it's really funny that some of our people think socialism is the way to go...after all, they put their very life on the line to attempt an escape from RED CHINA!

We have had it far too easy for far too long and now we are so lax in our ways that even when our gov't craps on us we don't care. The Chinese folks have had to fight for their existence for a looooong time. A whole lot of unsavory clowns have tried to do away with lots of them. They may not have much freedom, but most of them appreciate the little bit they do have. Apathy is a terrible thing...

So true, so true.
And, Navis is so right, too.
