I guess as long as it's fixable it's not the end of the world, just really annoying.
Yeah so basically like here then! Right now our country is run by social democrats (****** assholes)... which is why we ended up with all the refugees. And us that have money have to support the once that don't, it ****** me off cos you can litterally choose not to work and get welfare, but I can't cos I own a home and 3 cars... I would have to sell all of it but then I would have too much money so they wouldn't give me welfare anyways...
Since Sweden is a democracy it's all democrats but we still have the left and right wings, social democrats being left wing. I'm way more to the right wing, I believe if you want something you have to and should work for it, if you don't work for it you can live in you ****** home, drive your ****** car and so on... that is fair IMHO!
I do believe in guncontrol, like you wrote with all the permits, bg check, mental check and all (for me this is strange cos our laws are so different, average joe don't have guns here). Obviously it's needed, there is no country in the world where it's so easy to get guns as in America and there is no country in the world where there is more public shootings (schools, malls etc.) or other types of shootings (drive-bys, domestic etc). It's too easy for the wrong people to get their hands on guns.
In the European Union (EU) we can go from country to country without a passport (you need a vaild passport or national ID-card to fly tho), which have worked fine until all the refugees came here. If they make it into the EU they can move around as they please too, and we have no idea who they are or what their purpose is! That's how the people behind the terror attack in Paris got there! The only time they even do bg checks here is when they have already commited a crime. Sweden is also a very equal-rights country (man, woman, straight, gay, color, religin etc. still has the same rights) but all thoes refugees comes from muslim countrys and they're not and they don't respect how things work here.
Our government also give all the refugees welfare, free housing and food, free healthcare, free everything, which in the end means us taxepayers have to pay for it. We that are citizens and pay taxes already have free healthcare and heavily reduced prices on medicine (about 80-95% is covered by the government) but we "pay" for it thru our taxes (we all pay alot of taxes so in that sence it's pretty fair). Instead of having to pay $100.000 for a surgery and put you in debt and a financil hellhole for life, we pay $30-50 and life is easier for eveyone.
I have never been to America, but I would love to go sometime.. a dream is to go from coast to coast, to see it all. You do know that people that choose to move to America aren't considered refugees tho? I wouldn't get free anything.
Hahaha I know you Americans love too deep frie pretty much everything but how the hell do you deep frie butter?!
I don't have to go to America to shoot guns tho. I've been to a gun range actually, it was really fun! I live right next to a huge military base and a gun range so I wake up to automatic gun fire on a regular basis, we even have road signs warning for tanks crossing the streets!
social democrats (****** assholes)...hahaha you are awesome! we need more chicks like you over here! most of the women, at least up in my area, are the ones supporting and voting the ****** assholes into office. we have the same problems of people not working and getting free stuff to live off of when its set up as a hand up, not a hand out.
i know you wouldnt be a refugee!haha just saying they hand stuff out here. tell them you are from a country that hates us and you will be set for life. hahaha
thats awesome that you got to shoot! you loved it right?! i have taken people scared of guns shooting, first shot they are scared, pop it off and look like thats not so bad, second shot they are hooked for life!
for me gun control is keeping a steady hand! haha. but really, some smart measures im okay with, but they are going overboard here. like my state banned the ar-15. they ban stuff that looks scary, and call gun parts like a pistol grip, detachable mag, muzzle break etc "evil features". the ar-15 is a semi auto, full auto is banned or tightly regulated by the federal government. hunting rifles have larger rounds, more range and no gun is more deadly than another, a .22 can kill as good or better than some of the banned stuff.
we dont carry for fear of our lives, i love guns, shoot target, i dont even hunt, they are just a good time. very very rarely will i carry and thats if i know im going to a bad city, or buying something from a stranger somewhere i dont know.
its kinda like the cats out of the bag....we have guns here so yes, bad people can get their hands on them, so we should carry to protect our self from the bad people, but look at mexico, they have a ban on guns and tons of murders happen there, once a few bad people get guns and no good people can have them its easy for the bad to take what they want....
we see it as "an armed society is a polite society", as in you never know who is carrying so be nice and do no harm or you might get whats coming to you if you do. it levels the playing field, try to rape some tiny girl that has a gun and see what happens, try to rob that old man with a .45 under his shirt. then there is the whole reason for the 2nd amendment (the law in our constitution letting us have guns),
The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are historical as well as legal documents. They can only be understood from a perspective that embraces the historical context that surrounded them. This viewpoint emphasizes that these are practical documents written by men intent on the establishment of a successful system of government. The preamble to the Bill of Rights reinforces this understanding. It states:
"The conventions of a number of the States having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution."
so pretty much if the the guns here are to keep the government in check if it abuses its powers, the people could have the power of the gun to fight back a tyrannical government.
as for the needing gun control,
The United States is 3rd in the number of murders throughout the world. But if you take out just 4 'left-wing' cities: Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC and New Orleans — the United States is 4th from the bottom, in the ENTIRE World, for Murders. These 4 Cities are controlled by Democrats. These cities also have the toughest gun control laws in all of the US.
so all the anti gun citys are where the gangs and killings happen for the most part, really not many shootings outside of them for the most part. go out in the country, try to rob someone....never happens because the robber never knows who has a gun and is willing to fight for their right to live........end rant. hahaha
you def gotta come check it out here! when i graduated high school i jumped in a 98 k1500 diesel and drove cross country from Connecticut, out to Colorado, down the mountains to Arizona, out to the beach in California, up through Nevada, saw Nebraska, Kansas.....it is such a beautiful country......then took my Harley and rode from ct to Texas and back 2 years ago. soooooo fun. dying to take my 67 Buick on a road trip out there.....ive seen all of new england on a motorcycle and in my 67.....its awesome just seen it too many times. i want to be the old guy that retires and gets an RV and just drives around the country! hahaha
oh and i have no clue how they deep fry butter, they have deep fried ice cream....figure that one out!!! they do strange stuff every fair season. deep fried candy bars, butter, oreos, hamburgers etc.....some of it is not too bad, most is nasty.
