Why would a guy from Canada be so interested in changing laws in a different country where he has no dog in the fight?

Shouldn't the people that have the dog in the fight be conserned about their own country's laws?

We have the uberest gun laws in the world and I for one feel safe when I venture from my home and live my daily life. If I didn't then I would move to a place where I do.

Re Disco: If your second amendment standpoint emerges from free thought, not fixed to an established approach of envisage and delivery, in quest of a monotony in agreeable political left-wing discourse, why make use of the Keynesian means of arriving at a conclusion, constructing a loose distortion of your opposition and then obliterating that compound to promote the argument; the second amendment is the generator of all gun-related pathologies.

Lawlessness not only occurs daily inside America, it extends to war zones, where U.S. military teach us its gladiatorial combat blood-shedding instruments are employed to safeguard America and its freedoms. The Dept of Defence invests in programs designed to target, bait and hook the juvenile. Unequivocal, the rising generation have been surrendered to military recruiters to harvest a supply of substitute soldiers, guiding potential new recruits with promises that come from enlisting. Govt recruiters provide schools with T.V equipment contracts and entice students with obligatory messages in the likeness of military recruitment pitches that are intertwined between the educational programs. Dept of Defence marketing strategies stretch beyond schools; it has backed and sponsored the creation of popular mainstream military-style video games, which assists youth susceptibility to impetuous behaviour, becoming desensitized and possibly even excited by such blood thirsty, sometimes, criminal acts. Is it not Washington, the guardian of the free-world, who sponsors regimes in the likeness of the Kingdom of Bahrain, which has been slaughtering its own citizenry, more damaging to adolescent behavior with strategic penetration into the classroom and recreational activities of America’s youth, than the second amendment?

From violent Hollywood movies to rebel stars of gangster rap, American culture and govt glorification of war have influenced the captive American audience far superior than the freedoms pertaining to the second amendment. America has a culture problem; negative firearm behavior is somewhat a product of the environment that has been bestowed upon the American youth. Ever played the video game, “Grand Theft Auto” or listened to Tupac Shakur.

Jumping subjects, Disco,

In 08, former POTUS, Jimmy Carter, touched down in Israel as a precursor to his commencement of a Mid East tour, taking him to countries such as Egypt, Syria and Palestine, meeting political leaders like Mubarak and Bashar al-Assad. Carter took the strategist approach that Hamas needed to be involved in peace talks between Israel and Palestine, meeting with Hamas superiors in Egypt and other leaders later in Syria. This placed Carter in contempt of Washington’s foreign policy, and MSM think-tanks diminished the tour as lacking quality, distorting the facts to oppose a democratically elected Hamas govt in Gaza. Meanwhile, Washington and Israel were impeding Palestine from pecuniary gain in any transaction from a gas field, geographically positioned in its waters, worth multi-billions. Palestine was in the process of arranging a deal to sell gas to Egypt, but alternately through pressure, was pursued to direct communications towards Israel for any potential financial endowment for its resources.  But consequently after Hamas won the election, concerns of them profiting from any deal produced a lengthy deadlock in negotiations. Two or three months prior to Carter’s tour of the Mid East, a European power promulgated that it would no longer continue talks with Israel and was planning to readdress Egypt at the negotiation-table. Israel reacted by enlarging its sanctions, ceasing shipments completely and enlarging its military campaign. This continued through to the 2011 Egyptian uprising, separation of South Sudan, Syrian rebellion, and eventual Lebanese intervention to come, linked entirely to resource hegemony for the control of African and Mid East energy supplies. Your Tahrir protests were engineered by outside forces and played upon by indigenous ringleaders and foreign powers, that have seen the removal of Egyptian liberalizing programs.
