No Shukle the fact that you did not know your own laws makes you ignorant, the fact that you came here representing them as something they clearly aren't makes you stupid. Secondly its America, not america. You stated more than once now that guns are "worshiped" in America, this is a stupid statement and inaccurate. Maybe what you are saying is being lost in translation, but your English has been quite good so far so I tend to believe you actually feel that way, which is "stupid" to use your word.
We value our freedoms here and we value our rights, when they are trampled on we do get upset and we do fight for them. You literally have no dog in this fight, and the fact that we differ in opinion has nothing to do with this, you have yet to to contribute this thread in an accurate meaningful way. I should have just stuck by my guns ( pun intended) and just ignored you. I asked if you were trolling because your just throwing shit against the wall, inflammatory shit at that.
I laid out a well written factual post and all you came back with was, "Oh those are our laws, I didn't know." and "Why would your 13 year old daughter need a rifle" I answered your questions and then you come back talking about the NRA and KKK and how we worship guns AGAIN.
I feel like I am completely wasting my time even engaging you, I must be a glutton for punishment right now.
I stand by what I am saying, guns are worshipped in america, compared to the rest of the world. Now worshipped might be a strong word, but you get the point. I take for exemple you buying your 13 year old daughter a gun. I don't think there is another country in the world where this would happen (at least, not as much as in the US). I would NEVER do that. I have travelled to many places in the world, and I have never seen a place where guns were loved as much as in the US, that is just a fact. If you can't stand the fact that my opinion is different than yours, I don't know what to tell you. The whole point of a forum is to share a point of view right? I am not coming here saying I have the truth, I said multiple times that Europe is a mess right now and that I don't agree with pretty much all of our politicians, I didn't insult you saying you were trolling or that I was loosing my time with you. But my opinion is that buying a riffle to a kid is just like : hey, look this is cocaine, take it with me, so you know how to do it. This is my opinion, you have yours, the argument is therefore pointless.
As for the laws of my country, I didn't know them. As I told you, I have never seen a gun at anybody's place, nor have I heard about anybody owning one. The laws might look the same, but I guess the background check or the license has to be different. The simple fact that I didn't know the laws about gun shows the fact that nobody cares about them here. You went to the army, you know more about guns than I do, that's a fact. But I have my opinion on the matter, because I have lived with a pro gun american family during one year and I learned a lot, I am not completely ignorant, thank you.
I actually acknowledged the fact that I was wrong on our laws, but when we bring up the Iraki Oil war or the NRA/KKK matter, you simply ignore it. I encourage you to dig into it a little. I have plenty of respect for you, fighting for your country and risking your life as a soldier. However, as Jack said, you just did your job, you weren't the one taking the decisions. I am not trying to say soldier are idiots, I am trying to say they were misled, just like the rest of the world, and you aren't responsible for it, so you should be able to have a critical point of view on the matter.
But as you said, we aren't going to keep polluting this topic with our arguments, you have voiced your opinion, I have voiced mine.
