I see on many forums on different sites (including this one)care so much about American laws. Europeans say we need to mind our own business? Well, we will once you guys mind your own. I talk to a lot of people from the UK, and they it is such a boring miserable place to be. Is that correct? (if it isnt dont get all pissy, it is just what I have heard) I also want to say that America has the right to bear arms. Its in the constitution. Its not like American citizens are going to go to Europe and start killing people. Even though gun crimes in the UK are rising (yet there guns are banned) and American gun crimes going down. When I went to the UK I was scared, somebody got shanked down the street. So all I say is mind yo damn business.

I'm from the UK, and I have no problem with America's gun laws.
Personally, I think that people from the UK shouldn't be allowed to own guns simply due to the fact that gun crime in the UK is so low and it would be best to keep it that way.
The reason gun crime is high in the US is because of your rights to own/carry a gun and how easy it is to get hold of one - I'm not being a d*ck, I'm just stating a fact.
UK cops aren't routinely armed, they don't need to be, there isn't enough serious crime for them to have guns, but the US is different because of different laws - I have no problem with your laws, in fact, I wouldn't mind owning a gun, but I think it's a far wiser decision for the current strict UK gun laws to stay intact.

I liked how this rant went from 'educated, with a good point' to 'prison gangster who got released recently for good behavior'.

I'm from the UK and I will agree with you, there is alot of violence down here. Some rough places, but then in America I've heard about the massacres, and it seems scary but then that's coming from myself, I've been in a few scary situations, there used to be a serial killer around my area, I was with some friends and my brother going down an alley and their was blood everywhere, like someone was killed or at-least stabbed alot, and since then I've been scared of loads of little things. (All the blood in the alley was the alley just outside my back fence)
Back OT: As long as Americans use their guns for valuable reasons, or for good reasons it's fine with me but killing people in massive massacres, erm..No thanks.

I do agree that the topic of gun laws in America don't really have anything to do with us British BUT at the same time you Americans are sharing the topic on an international internet community so what do you expect ?. If you want to keep your damn business as you put it private why share it with the world ?.
The only real reason we British are the only Europeans that voice an opinion on the subject is were the only ones who speak the same language as you!.
At the end of the day both of our nations are as opinionated as each other and both our nations have a rich history of poking our noses in where it's not wanted , Something we all have to learn to live with.
No hate here !!..,Just the truth.

I'm form the UK, Don't take this the wrong way or as hate;
But i disagree with the Gun Law in USA.
Having the ability to have Any sort of weapon in your house is dangerous, sure you can get the majority of the people who use it for self-defense, but you will always get the idiots that, well as you can see will kill for no reason.

Guns are for cowards, Quit being little girls and learn to fight like real men.
Whats the point in two Americans shooting at each other over a matter of lets say Money, You throw down you're weapons and fight not just shoot somebody.
Honestly you'll be nothing without you're precious Guns.

I'm British aswel as you are, stop being such an idiot will you.
If the US and UK (No allies aloud) went to war, The US would win.
Stop hating on the US, Sure you get the annoying ones sometimes, but they also get the Annoying Brit, like you.
Now stop starting flame wars.

They care so much because i don't remember the last time i heard good news from the US, all i ever hear about is a group of people getting killed every couple of weeks. Then have to listen to all the rednecks argue with the sensible people who want to get gun control. As for the UK gun crimes rising and us dropping? you do realise your gun crimes is more than 10x the amount of any European country. I don't know where you stayed in the UK but i've lived hear all my life and never experienced anyone i know getting murdered or even seriously assaulted so i call BS.
