Guns and legal restrictions regarding possession of firearms in America are directly related to this thread's subject. At least in my opinion. I had not even considered those restrictions, which is only one tiny aspect of living in the UK, when I was moving here.

It is very common that when someone says "everyone should be allowed to have a gun" some communist is going to spin it into "everyone will have a gun". That gets sold to the public as "everyone will be shooting everyone" because they will have means to do it. This is total nonsense. If you say "every male has a dick, therefore he will be raping others" you will probably get laughed at. "Every cook (the non-professional ones like your wives too) has a knife so they will be walking around the kitchen stabbing people" is another one... I really do not get your logic.

At the point that you are unable to make any comment without blaming communists for something I will remove myself from the debate. You make no sense. That’s probably the fault of the communists.

Try open-carrying while black. Oops...forget it.

Actually, here in Texas, quite a few Blacks open carry. I don't myself but I work with quite a few of us who do.
Perhaps in part because Texas has a huge military and former or retired military populace.

There you go. Texas has normal, decent people who do not like communists, and the problem does not even exist. - Logic.

Texas has normal people as opposed to any other state?

Finally someone starts to agree with me, in saying that firing a gun at a shooting range - with helpless targets that can maybe move around a bit - is not the same as shooting a target that can actually retaliate.

By saying "...everyone was walking around with guns" I meant that "potentially, anyone could be walking around with a gun". That is your freedom. Nobody tells you that you must walk around carrying a gun and nobody should tell you that you must not be carrying a gun. If you are an irresponsible individual, then maybe you had best not walk around with a gun. If you are irresponsible then maybe you had best at least show some respect and not undermine your constitution.

You should've clarified that in the beginning or just said it this way in the beginning. You can't speak in absolutes and then expect someone to know that you were implying that they "potentially" could own guns. Your phrasing plays it as an actually possible scenario. If everyone "potentially" could carry guns, which they already can, bad people with guns would still try people regardless because it happens all over the world where people confront others who knowingly have guns on them, so it wouldn't matter much how you explained it. The outcome would likely be the same.

Texas is growing at a rate more than most other states!

Normal? 3,200 people, last year, were killed from gun-related incidents! It seems to be rising year by year....surprise-surprise!
