Gun BANS Come From The Same Place As Chocolate Milk:

One problem with "democracy" is that 50% of the electorate have an IQ that's below average .. I'm not saying that there should be an intelligence test to vote - but how about a compulsory multiple choice questionnaire about the issues of the elections each time before you make your mark on the paper?

- When a range visitor once firmly declared that guns were dangerous - I demonstrated that my Model 610 S&W revolver would not attack or shoot anyone - by placing it on the floor between us and watching it carefully for several minutes .. until she asked what was I doing  😁😁.

... A (US) study found 48% of respondents weren't sure where chocolate milk came from - and 7 percent of them thought chocolate milk only comes from brown cows 

.. further an earlier study in the 1990s found that nearly 20% of people did not know hamburgers are made from beef.

 - A current British radio advert says that 10% of children think that fish-fingers come from chickens.

While I do understand that a lot of us working folk don't even bother to register on the electoral roles .. quite a few do vote and their understanding of various issues may be strongly guided by what they have seen in action movies or in newspaper stories.

'CIVICS' and 'Political Theory' definitely need to be taught at school ..

The British tabloid newspapers and politicians have been blaming just about every problem with their own failings for the last forty years on the EU Laws .. so it's no great surprise that Brits voted against remaining as part of Europe.

BREXIT Means BREXIT
LEAVE MEANS LEAVE
 - America Will Save UK Again.

Here in New Zealand people are naturally outraged by violent crime - so when they are told by police & politicians that legal GUNS are the problem and the cause of killings .. and that it would all be solved by BANNING THEM - they agree that this must be done now. - Quick and easy and obvious eh - FIXED.

They won't get excited later when shootings continue at a similar level - because they have already done something about it.

It strikes me that Mental Health issues are part of these killer-nutters despairing death wishes .. many amok killers are found to have been taking anti-depressant medications. - But decent Healthcare takes a fair level of taxation .. as does Education, Law Enforcement, & Prison Services etc.

Hey Ho,
Would it be rude of me to mention that while we are concerning ourselves with little issues like GUN BANS and GLOBAL WARMING and TRUMPS arguments with IRAN and all the rest while the Queen of New Zealand is preparing a massive huge banquet in London for 'Donald' with wine specially bought - because none of the 250,000 bottles in the Palace wine cellars are suitable for Donnie and the other guests?? --- MEANWHILE has anyone else been so boring as to mention that there are 14,900 live armed nuclear warheads actively deployed around this wee blue planet by these MORONS .. AIMED AT US ?
