Actually they do - it's just not "codified" like most countries. It's mostly tradition and snippets of written laws such as the Magna Carta and 1689 Bill of Rights. In fact it's the 1689 Bill of Rights that the US version was based on - including the right to keep and bear arms. However, in...

Don't "fear" guns but "respect" them. A lot of anti-gun folks don't like the idea of someone else (no matter how law-abiding) carrying a gun because they, their self, do not feel they can be trusted with a gun - therefore nobody else can be trusted. Others are scared of guns because they've...

Absolutely Yes! I am a green card holder and have purchased firearms a few times. You just need to have the last 3 months worth of utility bills (or your lease agreement) showing your name and current address to prove you've lived there for at least 90 days. Also, when filling out the form...

They should also be investigated for crimes against the British people.

Glocks are great handguns but you don't buy them for looks. Other good reliable pieces IMO are Sig Sauer and the Beretta 92's which have an open slide design (so less chance of jams). Note the 92 is also the current standard issue sidearm of the US armed forces - they don't get there unless...

On the 2nd amendment issue: ask him to look into how well the British gun ban worked out for them. Crime in the UK has spiraled out of control and gun crime itself is 4 times higher than before the 1997 ban. With so many guns already in circulation, a gun ban in the US would be a major...

Bersa Thunders (in .380ACP) are small light and concealable, very good semi-autos and cost about 250 bucks.

I feel sorry for ya man!! It really pisses me off and I don't even live there anymore. Now if only we could get all you freedom-loving Brits over here and swap you out for all the commie-loving misguided Americans that are trying to send us down the toilet.

NRA = National Retard Association :rolleyes:

The girls here love guys with British accents. :D

Now you know how I feel when my wife makes me go in the nail salon with her! :o Anyways, some really good advice so far but I can't stress this enough: you need to go to your local range and try out several of their rental weapons first. Explain to them it's your first time - they will bend...

There's some info here: http://www.usacarry.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=36 Typically you have to take a short training course and test.

It's true... but slowly getting eroded. Each time it gets eroded, it becomes easier to erode the next time. :(

I moved to the US 8 years ago (thankfully). I think the UK is too far gone in the socialist cesspit. Both major parties are totally socialist in their ideologies. You could just wait for everything to implode (like Marxist/communist/socialist states always do eventually). Sorry. I hate to put...
